Germaine Koh
Germaine Koh
2001
Published on the occasion of the exhibition Germaine Koh at the Contemporary Art Gallery, in its new facility at 555 Nelson Street, from May 4 to July 21, 2001. The exhibition presented two works: ... (2000), featuring a gentle and continuous shower of small ball bearings falling from tracks in the ceiling. They fall and bounce, finding their own settling points, often joining puddles of other ball bearings on the floor. The ball bearings are then recycled back into the tracks and rain down to create new patterns on the floor. The second piece, Prayers (1999), took place on the outside of the building. A smoke machine was networked to an office computer and translated its daily texts into Morse code. The translation manifested as smoke signals that could be viewed from the street. The Germaine Koh publication features a forward by Keith Wallace, and essay "Immanent Domain" by Laura U. Marks.
