2018年

《A Monument for the Anxious and Hopeful》是一个活生生的目录，记录了我们与未来不确定性关联的方式。作为鲁宾艺术博物馆“Futures”展览的一部分，参观者被邀请匿名分享他们在羊皮纸卡片上的忧虑和希望，并将这些卡片挂在博物馆的大堂墙上。整个2018年期间，该装置逐渐发展成为一年中情绪变化的巨石标尺，游客可以探索成千上万条个人冥想，这些内容从个人、地方和具体的陈述到政治、理论和精神的反思不等。

收到了超过55,000份回应，揭示了定义我们视野范围的担忧、期待和故事，以及它们如何与集体情绪相联系：我感到焦虑是因为……我太好胜了——我增重的速度超过了我减肥的速度——我在乎别人对我的看法——我们的国家比以前更加社会分裂——我的伴侣开始关注他的前女友——我到了退休年龄却没有退休金——很少有人投票——生态灾难迫在眉睫——我变得太安于现状——原谅所爱的人很难——我的儿子正在与酗酒作斗争——我们在建造一些我们不理解的东西——被人误解很可怕——不容忍正在上升。我感到有希望是因为……他似乎对自己的康复非常投入——世界上有很多好人，只是他们不会上新闻——我所关注的总是会增长——我们可以走出去参加游行——有人在乎——当我从未想过的时候我相信爱情——我愿意成长和改变——艺术治愈人——我的母亲变得更加接纳他人——音乐每天都在拯救我的生命——年轻人在发声——我知道我不是孤独的——孤独和连接中都存在着美——我对恩典持开放态度。

2018

A Monument for the Anxious and Hopeful is a living catalogue of the ways in which we relate to the uncertainty of tomorrow. As part of the Rubin Museum of Art‘s Futures exhibit, visitors were invited to anonymously share their anxieties and hopes on vellum cards and hang them on the museum’s lobby wall. On view for the duration of 2018, the installation grew into a monolithic barometer of the year where visitors could explore thousands of individual meditations that ranged from personal, local, and specific statements to political, theoretical, and spiritual reflections.

Over 55,000 responses were received and revealed the apprehensions, expectations, and stories that define our field of vision and how they correlate with the collective mood: I’m anxious because… I get too competitive — I’ve gained more weight than I can burn — I care too much about what people think of me — our nation is more socially fragmented than before — my partner started following his ex on Instagram — I am retirement age with no retirement income — so few people vote —  ecological disaster is imminent — I’m getting too complacent — it’s hard to forgive someone you love — my son is struggling with alcohol abuse — we’re building things we don’t understand — being misunderstood is scary — intolerance is on the rise. I’m hopeful because… he seems committed about his recovery — the world is full of good people, they just don’t make the news — what I focus on always grows — we can walk out and march — there are people who care — I believe in love when I never thought I would — my willingness to grow and change — art heals people — my mother is becoming more accepting of others — music saves my life a little every day — young people are speaking up — I know I am not alone — there is beauty in both solitude and connection — I’m open to grace.
