MEW3 Portfolio
MEW3 is created from the residue of four defunct installations. All of which were built in a store front in West Chicago, each installation right after the other.

An interpretation of a past experience is constructed from personal understanding, documentation and memories. All of which are easily corrupted forms of communication. A temporary art installation, if missed, can only be viewed through the things that make it permanent: the photographs, the sculptural residue and the memories of the people who saw it. Each is a reflection of the first idea, the installation, and is also reinventions of it. They can never be the original construct. However, the photographs and the residue are themselves objects of worth, and they could not exist without the event that led to their birth, the previous installation.

This space meditates on how we came to be here. How our environment is dictated not only by what came before us and what surrounds us, but also by what we choose to do with it, and how we are constantly reinventing the old under new precepts.
