Ground Level, Stichting Kunst en Complex, Rotterdam, August - October 1992

Created during a summer residency and included in the group exhibition, Culture Clash, Ground Level is centered on place. The reclaimed land next to the docks is in a state of transition and expectation.. Composed of found pilings left from the last structure and waiting for the next. The work stands on earth that was built out of the sea. Sited on land that was once water, we are reminded of the temporary and  speaks to growth and destruction that are part of Rotterdam.

 Intersection Video by Kristy Edwards 19:00 minutes
When the modules of shiny steel are grouped and stacked, creating new structure in the once empty city street, the choreography of the work process becomes evident. Getting the job done may call for seemingly awkward movements and uncomfortable positions but there is art and vitality in awkwardness as well as in grace.

The urban grid is the frame for this cycle of building and tearing down that is parallel to the performance.  Intersection focused on the beauty and energy of daily work and life.
