Talking Walls: Dialogue, Ingrid and Plato


Talking Walls: Dialogue, Ingrid and Plato,
1996
installation and performance, Oboro Gallery, Montreal, Quebec. This project, with the somewhat tongue-in-cheek title Dialogue: Ingrid and Plato, began as a re-thinking of the gallery space in order to propose the gallery as a forum for ideas, as a site to create and initiate dialogue, and as an opportunity to work directly in and on the gallery architecture, both literally and metaphorically. The aim was also to question and critique in a somewhat theatrical and potentially humorous way certain assumptions of Western thought. Plato's Socratic dialogues with their emphasis on 'Ideal theories' were used loosely as a model.
