A suite of three plaques produced for the Whitney Biennial in response to Marcel Breuer's quote stating his MET building should “translate the vitality of the street.” The project brought together high and low forms of public inscription to commemorate the last Whitney Biennial to take place at the Breuer Building before the Whitney Museum of American Art relocated to its current home.
Near Here, is a collaboration with Berlin-based poet, Donna Stonecipher. It is the second in an ongoing Near Here series.
