It’s here!

For our final assignment in the “STUDIO: the line” class we where instructed to take all of our research from the line, as well as all of the knowledge obtained from previous pieces and create a single culminating installation that embodies The LINE, what we know about it, how we feel about it, and how we think about it.

First pictures, then explanation!

“Number 136”

Mixed media

 

For my installation, I decided to stick with my TINY glass vials (3 dram ea.) and collect MORE TINY objects from the line. i ended up with 174 vials, all of which where corked, sealed, and numbered (1 through 175). I Then created a form for each vial that contained the vial number, and the contents of it, with the instructions to draw and then describe the contents. Additionally I laid a linoleum floor to add to the feeling of a laboratory. Once all of the forms are completed I plan to punch holes in them and create a catalog of other peoples perspective on my perspective on the line. Additionally I plan to cover the vials with a sheet of Plexiglas and add hooks so it can be hung on a wall later in its life.

Title explanation: If you have have read this far you have won the title explanation! When stamping the vials with their numbers my helpers and I (chris and bert) missed a number and only realized once we got to the end and hit 175 instead of 174. After going back and checking them all i found that i was missing #136, and a title was born!
