Sign Here For Delivery, 2019

​

A vibrant vitrine install in Montréal’s popular Mile End neighbourhood. Wrapped for delivery, official labels are pasted on the palette, and ‘sign here’ paperwork appears on the vitrine window. The energetic families of objects fly off, are too loosely bound, and lay crushed beneath the palette, defying the confines of the wrap.

​

Delivery speaks to the inherent tension between the attempt to brand a neighbourhood, and the unruly, expansive, idiosyncratic, indefinable magic that makes a place a special place to make art.

The use of the palette is also a tongue in cheek nod to our day jobs; both in shipping. Building and taking apart palettes is our bread and butter, and yet the pure utility of packing palettes is at odds with our lives as artists. Here we give ourselves free reign to make the 'worst' packed palette in the world; imperfectly designed to be intransportable, messy, highly site-specific.
