Archives - THIS IS NOT A TEST
|
[THIS IS NOT A TEST was an audio installation that dealt with fears regarding a nuclear holocaust. The audience was presented with a surrealistic vision of the last survivor's shack - Read more...] complete with a desolate bed/landscape and miniature projections of lush, blue-green landscapes (memories of what was once on the surface of the planet). On the audio tape two voices (one cynical, the other despairing,) discuss what wasn't done to avoid this result - they are interrupted by a radio announcer and a teacher giving emergency instructions. Chanting moans, sirens, and sighs echo in the background. Exhibitions: Nova Scotia College of Art and Design gallery (1978); the New York Coliseum's Art Expo '81 (Women in Art '71-'81 curated by the NY Feminist Art Institute) (1980); The New Museum of Contemporary Art, NYC (The End of the World: Contemporary Visions of the Apocalypse curated by Lynn Gumpert) (1983-84); Carleton College Gallery, Minnesota (1985); the YWCA of Minneapolis (1985); Long Beach Museum of Art, CA (1987); Calif. State Univ., Bakersfield (1988); CSU Northridge Gallery (1989); and the Walker Building, Long Beach (1991).
