The Offsite Show features eight installations, each shown in a variety of different, cities, states and countries. The show highlights each member's effort to create something beyond the confines of Auto Body's four walls. A photograph of each installation and a hand drawn sketch are framed and exhibited in the space.
Solar / Lunar imitations. Twelve yellow balloons.
Oberlin, Ohio.
These points are plotted to imitate the twelve months [month derived from the word moon] of solar and lunar cycles [in soybean and corn fields]. Here is an unexpected and unfamiliar site of the most expected, familiar and eternal site to humans on earth.
Terra Nullius scribed on two wooden chairs.
John Boyle Island, Brookhaven, New York.
The island is formally a part of the sovereignty of Brookhaven but in a sense is no mans land – a territory void of human habitation. Two chairs are placed on the island to invite humankind.
Polyasteroidea. Blue poly tarp starfish filled with sand.
Ho Hum Beach Fire Island, New York.
Millions of starfish are dying on the Pacific Coast. There is a giant formation of plastic in the Pacific Ocean. Plastic takes a long time to decompose. Polyasteroidea should be around for a while.
Construction Netting.
Amsterdam, Holland
The scrim creates an anticipation for what is to be unveiled. Temporary structures are built around existing structures. Like Auto Body, the temporary structure works to extract and remold the existing. The temporary structure is where work and creation take place.
Field paint on grass.
Bell Street and Browns Lane, Bellport, New York.
Numbers one through fifty are laid out in the orientation of the stars on the American flag and scaled to the field.
Photographs.
Black Point, Maine.
I thought it would be sick to have my photos adorning an overlook to an amazing surf spot.
Windshield tape and glass.
Bedford Stuyvesant, New York.
A sheet of glass is adhered to the window of an Auto Body shop using windshield tape.
Fake plants, real plants.
Hudson, New York.
Over fifteen fake plants were planted in the ground in a natural environment as an invisible yet permanent installation.
