This checkpoint installation was done as part of the Peace Now! exhibition at the Warehouse Gallery commemorating the 5th anniversary of the Iraq conflict.

The wall is meant to divide common space as an arbitrary impediment to normal human flow. I have been pondering "walls" for a long time now -- and there didn't seem to be any other way for me to express my feelings that we make peace now by throwing up walls without building a barricade and experiencing the disruption.

I've invited some graffiti buddies to do their thing on the walls -- and we'll be smashing it down and selling off pieces at the end of Artomatic. Special thanks to Kelly Towles, Tim Conlon, Jazirock, Rei21, Rezist, Amen, RDawg, Queen B. Email me if you want to reserve a piece of the wall.
