OAK DRIVE MEMORIAL

Serving as a commemoration for young lives lost in a November 2000 car accident on Colgate University’s campus, the Oak Drive Memorial was installed in October of 2007. While providing a sense of closure to both families and the community, it raised questions regarding specificity and impact within the context of campus memorialization processes.

For the first New York City and outdoor variation of the Han Ulrich Obrist-conceived “do it” exhibition, I re-interpreted artist Ilya Kabakov’s “The White Cube” instructions. Rather than constructing a solid cube for spectators to scale via ladders on opposing sides, I chose to build an open cube with a dias in the center to draw viewers within the piece. By looking up towards the sun in an attempt to read the enigmatic message, viewers shared a similar interaction to the original interpretation.
