  Embroidered clothing, 1998
  I wanted to take advantage of the guards ongoing presence in the gallery. Surely the guards had opinions about the art work, the public and their jobs in the galleries. I recorded those opinions (gathered in interviews) along with general gallery information onto the clothing that the guards wore while on duty during the Wisconsin Triennial. Additional clothing (with embroidered quotes) was on view on racks in the gallery.

  Stay as long as you like, Sweater

  No Hurry,Necktie

  I wonder what it's like outside, Shirt

  You hope your instincts are right, Turtleneck

  

We wear them. They wear us. They speak for us. They speak about us. They speak. With this clothing I offer some additional dialogue.
