In Preparation For The Over-Running Of White Columns By Hordes of Bloodthirsty Barbarians (AKA Bunker Flood)
Bunker Flood was a site specific installation at White Columns in NYC.
MTAA walled in the gallery’s reception desk with cinder blocks and sand
bags in preparation for an invasion. The piece was included in a group
exhibition entitled “Tipping Point” curated by Lauren Ross.
