ABSTRACT

An edition of six bras for the wall. This is a bra that is worn by a wall; the bra is the height of a conventional wall, and is made like a wall, skinned with a metal lathe and covered with a rough coat of plaster. From inside each cup, light spills out past the uneven plaster edges and through the metal lathe, onto the wall around it and into the room. The bra has its own sound: input from conventional sound-sources—radio, stereo system, television—is heard against the sound of heavy breathing that pans from cup to cup. Inside each cup a canvas backing, like the lining of a bra. The bra serves as a wall-fixture or a room divider; the cups are hinged so that the bra can be adjusted to different positions relative to the wall—lines of cable act as shoulder straps that tie the bra to floor and ceiling, supporting the bra in its various configurations.
