fish
babble was conceived as part of the reclamation artists project "reclaiming
draw 7". sited along the mystic river in somerville, ma, in the piece
artists susan berstler, lee mandell and lauren o'neal recycled 5 computer
monitors into working fish tanks.
|
the
tanks were filled with real and surreal objects referencing the mystic
and its inhabitants. native fish such as the alewife were replaced by
over two dozen goldfish.
|
after
less than a week, the tanks were vandalized and the fish killed. the artists
reassembled the wreckage which was than on display for the remainder of
the exhibition.
