Alec Nicolescu
Survival Balcony

Alec Nicolescu built a large balcony structure between two of the gallery columns and lived in the space for the duration of the show. The structure was distinguished by a fence-like balustrade which ran around three sides. This installation was a continuation of the artist’s work concerning survival and the relationship between life and art activities.
