Curator(s): Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman
Exhibition: Challenging himself to work inside the gallery space,
Wodiczko created a new installation using projections to produce

which the viewing public was inserted into the projections as they
walked through the space. Included in the installation was a second
prototype of the Homeless Vehicle, and a videotape documenting
the vehicle in use on the streets of New York. This work deals
with issues of the needs and rights of homeless people, especially
those of Tompkins Square with whom the artist has been working
for three years.

Rosalyn Deutsche, Julie Courtney, an introduction by Papo Colo,

in their work.
