2012
collaboration with Warren Quigley
Installed at Where Where Art Space in Beijing, China, the Ministry for Future Modification, Beijing Office, was a collaboration with Warren Quigley. We used as a point-of-departure an officially appointed technological control center that theoretically charted both the physical and psychological shifts of unsanctioned actions. Be it undesirable weather or unsavory behavior, the Ministry for Future Modification was mandated to monitor destabilizing change. Is such an enterprise predestined for failure? The obvious pitfalls of such an enterprise were suggested through the inundation of a chaotic exterior landscape into the controlled interior of an office setting. The juxtaposition of an official “memo” with the scenario suggested by the installation was intended to accentuate this incongruity.
