BANNER PROPOSAL FOR NOGUCHI MUSEUM (REJECTED)

My designs are renderings of boxes with rails attached to to them to form a railroad. I wish to highlight the mundane, and repetitive properties of my process. As an Asian American, it is my responsibility to express Asian adversity by amplifying through visual means, how the ruling class envisions diversity, who they want to see spearhead concepts of progress, while envisioning another imprisoned providing cheap labor, an example of this is the development of Long Island, and Brooklyn through sugar trade, and railroad expansions. Love is contemplating “good”, because it may not be nice for everybody, and for people of color love and labour, has always carried on visual properties of bending back, getting on knees, and arching the neck to bring down gaze down on to the floor. Banners, by nature are displayed on a higher altitude, with my design I want to create this aversion from what is normally seen, and felt, on the ground. Through this public program I would like to share how my railroad project came to be; a project which originally came about through packaging, and the philosophical implications of categorizing. Like Noguchi’s works which can be assembled and disassembled, I want to expand onto the public a private dialogue I have of what is past, present, finished, not finished, top or bottom.
