COPS, BOSSES, LANDLORDS | painted wood sign sculptures, fabric sandbags, dimensions variable. Installed as a part of the exhibition Hidden Assembly, curated by Yaelle Amir, 2017.

These signs take precarity as their material condition. As you play this cornhole style game, taking the colorful sandbag weights and tossing them through the holes in the signs, you are removing the crucial counterweights that keep the signs upright. We were thinking about these sculptures as contingent objects, props, games, dares—illustrations of the power relations at work in everyday life and the ways they can be potentially interuppted through collective action and play. They are informed by reading and by our own lived experience as workers, renters, parents, artists, and teachers.
