Property is Theft! 2017

was a site specific installation consisting of two parts; a barricade, constructed with paving stones removed without permission from public spaces in the area surrounding the gallery space and a sound work, made by boarding up the windows opposite the barricade with 9 mm ply board, and intermittently resonating the boarded windows with amplified sine waves tuned to the natural resonant frequencies of the boarded windows. The resulting sound reached 90 -dB the maximum sustained volume allowed in the municipal zone. The barricade was built and located according to the “safe” load-bearing capacity of the building, it weighed 3.5 tonnes. Recording of sound available here
