From Amanda

Hey Babe,

Can you please print this for me to take to my doctor? Also, can you call the number for the Health Savings card I sent yesterday? I will call your dad about the disposal.  Sorry to add to your list.  Lets get all this junk out of the way and enjoy a little vacation and family time!!! I love you, looking forward to spending time with my boyfriend:)

Ice cube?

A 6 inch cube of snow.

Transported from the mountains

And left in the desert.

A white box.

That didn't last.



Simplifying Myself - Rochelle

   For my inverted box, I wanted to get down to the basics of who I am.
   That means words.
   My box is just simple white printer paper with the words of some of the songs that I really relate to based on what I want from my life.
   I left the box in a bush that sits near a church parking lot that I pass through a lot on my way to school.  Most people take the front way through the parking lot, but I always go the back way, taking the road less traveled, as it were. 

The Inverted Theatre

The Inverted Theatre - my answer to the inverted box. The thesis of the original project is to take the enclosed display of a gallery and invert it, juxtaposing the box against it's environment. Here is an analog of the theater experience; the enclosed space viewing the public instead of containing the image.

I went to the mall and placed a camera inside the box - viewing the crowd, instead the crowd viewing the image on a screen.

 

I purposefully made sure to destroy the box at the end, to mirror the instant quality of film; it does not linger like the content of gallery. Rather it exsists singular to the moment it is viewed. It is more important that the box did exist in the Red Cliffs Mall, and still exists when viewed on video, rather than continuing to exist there.

All the videos from the experience can be viewed at the playlist for The Inverted Theatre at my YouTube Channel

Juniper

For many at Southern Utah University, one place is a symbol of where their lives as college students began; that place is Juniper Hall. The massive cinder block, as it is often called, has witnessed the life moments of countless freshmen—I wanted the world to have the experience of witnessing a small portion of Juniper as it awaits demolition. This particular room is the study room on the C300 hall, a place that was quite important to me during my freshman year. We will miss you, Juniper Hall.

I decided to dedicate my box to the classic video game Mario Bros.  I hung it from a tree (you have to be able to hit it from beneath, right?) in a park in Cedar City.  It snowed the next day, but I hope someone saw it and it made them smile.

Michael Phelan's inverted box

"If God made a prettier place, he kept it to himself". . . That place is Brian Head, UT.  My family has a log cabin at 10,000 feet in this pristine ski resort.  On a sunny February afternoon, I strapped on my snowshoes and ventured from our cabin to put my inverted box in a place that is special to me.  I call it "Pride Rock".  This seven-foot chunk of igneous rock is a prominent feature that we often have campfires next to in the summer.
