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.
