Purging in Austin

22 Feb, 2012 -

Check out this article from Colossal on a recent installation by Ink Tank, an arts collective in Austin, Texas.

“A few days ago I happened upon a rather unique art project called Last New Year in theAustin American Statesman, showing photos of a dilapidated home recently transformed with a number of installations by a small arts collective called Ink Tank. The premise for the project was fascinating: the ensemble imagined a fictional group of people living in the home who would react to the prophesied end-of-times 2012 date. One of my favorite pieces from the show is a giant installation called The Purge by artistChris Whiteburch who decided to imagine how the house itself would confront the impending doom. The result is a structure purging its contents, all manner of debris and structural material shooting violently through a window into a giant wooden splash.”
