Works Shown

Heaven and Hell

2008, installation with motors, electronics

In this installation, miniatures of the McCoys, their two daughters, and furniture rise and fall on motors suspended from the ceiling. "Is Jennifer and Kevin McCoy’s Heaven and Hell about being nice to people on the way up or the inevitability of descent? Situated in Silicon Valley, is it about the tribulations of the business cycle in particular or the giddy roller coaster of humanity in general?" - Steve Dietz, curator
