Bill Beckley
Three Game Installation

Bill Beckley’s “Silent Ping Pong” game consisted of four 2×4″ plywood tales and paddles which were convered with perforated green goam. His “Hop Scotch” court had a ten sentence tape-recorded story as a sound track. The third game was a golf course with a putter tuned to middle C and a hole tuned to B.
