“reARRANGEment”

8' x 12' x 8'

“reARRANGEment” was an installation about the La Jolla/San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art. In going back and forth to San Diego for many years, I had observed the transformation of that particular building and the area surrounding it over time. This process fascinated me because of all the changes, which I saw physically occurring, but it was also due to my own interest in non-traditional exhibition spaces. To make “reARRANGEment” I located the original architectural plans for the Ellen Browning Scripps House that was designed by Irving Gill in 1916 and I fashioned a 1/6-scale model of that in the gallery. Inserted into the wooden structure, with three different size monitors, I placed three video loops that trace paths around the museum site as you would see it today, after the Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates 1986 transformation into the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art.
