MONUMENT / PLINTH / STOOP
2006-2010
Miami, FL
Monument / Plinth / Stoop involved the recreation of the plinth with a set of steps leading to the top of it. Individual who chose to rise to the top became part of a sculptural work of art frequently adorning the city. While exhibited in downtown Miami individuals walking by would occasionally rest on the steps of the plinth, thus, transforming it into a stoop. Plinth / Monument / Stoop was originally placed in Overtown, Florida adjacent to the I-395 Freeway in March of 2006. The participants were documented and images were printed and gifted to them. The sculpture was included in the 40th Anniversary of Public Art in N.Y. at Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx and at the Moore Space/ Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami in the exhibition Metro Pictures.
