_error

Olga Koumoundouros' excellent sculpture Monument to a town meeting, after Acconci leads off this Adbusters piece. An excerpt from the artist's unpublished statement about the sculpture, a hulking found-wood assemblage that only reveals itself when viewers climb atop it:

"Drop the “T” out of “Terror” and “_error” reveals itself. ...The piece employed the language of minimalist sculpture to discuss American relationships to terror. By presenting itself as a monolithic structure at first glance, ladders are provided to those who wish to climb on top to see that the form spells the word terror. Terror reveals itself only when we get above it. Secure and walled seating space is offered in between the letters for those that climb on top as well. We sit in the midst of terror; we live with terror around us. The “purity” of form indicted.
