installation #2: the clothesline of academia

materials:
76 t-shirts
152 clothes pins
16 8-foot wooden stakes
300 feet clothesline

structure:
4 50-foot clotheslines (2 each side of academic row)
4 wooden stakes per section
19 shirts per section (7 - 7 - 5)
1 100-foot clothesline in center of academic row

structure - abstract - structure

a third abstract clothesline is created by the movement of clothed individuals that walk on academic row

as the wind blows all shirts demonstrate movement with particular directionality

the clothesline is a structure so completely humanized and perfectly domestic that the notion of a third human line is rather normal

at times it becomes hard to determine which fabrics are on bodies and which are on a line; all fabrics are certainly human-made
