The two installations and travelling performance took place during the expansion of Boston subway's Red Line. At Park Street Station "The Shrine," an homage to everday objects and shopping, was housed in and around an open 1950's refrigerator, and nestled under a stairwell. All parts of the installation, plastic fruit, animals, hubcaps, etc. were painted red.
|
| In the Central Square Station, "The Proscenium" was a piece between the two train tracks that consisted of red-painted objects that related to being underground: flashlights, fish, trouble lights, ladders, etc. Viewers could look from one platform, through the installation, to the other, where the performers were. |
