It’s all pipes
Rachel Bordeleau & Taylor Engel at Alpaca Public Installation Viewing: Friday May 1, 5-10pm Opening Reception: Friday May 8, 6-9pm Presentation Series: Saturday May 16, 7-10pm It’s the end. I didn’t want to know. The pipes are calling. I’m not looking. Besides calling, they’re getting dressed, they're making choices, they’re making decisions and it’s based on something. They’re being watched and they don’t know. They’re looking at something and does this fit? The manual is here and they’re behaving. There’s a story inside a story. The illusion of control. The slice of pie I selected, the crumbs on the floor. Believe me as pipes. They only exist if you see them. |
