“REVIEW IN PROGRESS II" June, 2005, Cal Arts Alumni Exhibition
  “DOWNTOWN”,
    "SIX DEGREES: Art in the Libraries" Curated by Karen Atkinson, Sam Erenberg and Judith Hoffberg. A series of site specific artworks installed and/or performed in libraries throughout the City of Los Angeles by local artists. This public art project is about discovery, the element of surprise in an already contextual space, each project relating to ideas about the library - including but not limited to the idea of checking things out of the library, ideas of insertion into the space, a more subversive tack than a discreet object, and the context and future of “the book”. Artists:

the tower, but also reflects on the physical nature of the imagination.
