Jacki Apple, Alice Aycock, Rita Myers and Martha Wilson
Installations

Jacki Apple exhibited Trunk Pieces, an environment with texts (journal-like writings with photographs) and objects (artifacts of the artist’s own life as well as that of her mother and grandmother).

Alice Aycock’s Scaffolding was a wooden structure with ladders enabling the viewer to climb up and perch on platforms. She also showed two drawings: Study for a Hexagonal Building and Study for a Building with Footholds for Climbing the Walls.

Rita Myers, for Dumbdadeaddadumb, made two benches with boards on cinder blocks. Facing the benches were two video monitors perpendicular to each other, and showing two different videotapes of a person sitting on the benches and swaying. One videotape showed a stationary view while the other was made with a moving camera. A voice-over sound tape instructed the spectator how to move his or her body.

Marth Wilson’s Truck, Fuck, Muck was an installation which consisted of three desks, each with a reading lamp. Placed on each desk was a section of text describing the hitchhiking artist and her experiences with the truck drivers who picked her up.
