The Ups and Downs
Coverlands by Danielle Adair
Opening reception March 6th, 7:00pm
Closing reception March 7th, 7:00pm
Coverlands is a sculptural installation inspired by the artist's recent journalistic embed with U.S. forces in Jalalabad. During the months of November and December 2008, Danielle followed women intelligence officers on two bases in eastern Afghanistan. The objects reference classified maps and woven blankets sold at the bazaar on base, and highlight the army's effort to preserve U.S. national identities in a foreign environment. Danielle uses wax paper and thread to invoke dual qualities of delicacy and durability.

This has been made for you. Do I know you? The show must go on. Installed and De-installed. Up. Down. Now what? Now then…
