The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, 258 Main Street, Ridgefield
Connecticut, United States
6 June - 30 August 2009
The collaborative team Type A (Adam Ames and Andrew Bordwin) makes work about boundaries, real and imagined.
Their new project, Barrier, presents twenty-four identical concrete sculptures in the form of “Jersey Barriers,” dividers originally designed for highway medians, but adopted after 9/11 as security barricades for public buildings.
Type A’s barriers differ from the originals in that each is a perfect semi-circular curve, so six form a circle, or, put end to end, a sinuous line.
The Aldrich installation will bisect the entry terrace, lobby, and inner courtyard, radically changing the flow of traffic.
Barrier is a collaboration between The Aldrich, The Rose Art Museum of Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, and the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY.
