Roy Stanfield:
The Vulcan 20 and The Commodore 1541
Testsite (a project of Fluent~Collaborative)
December 2003
An exhibition of new work by emerging artist Roy Stanfield which involved three sites in Austin: a residence (testsite), the Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria's ailing sculpture garden, and an undisclosed drainage ditch next to a large movie theatre. The exhibition attempted to make testsite (a semi-private space) function as a location in which to consider two other public spaces (the sculpture garden and the undisclosed drainage ditch). To these ends, rumors and documents referring to both actions and performative sculptures charged these public spaces for the testsite visitor.
A speech (pdf) complied from various sources accompanied the project.
