Team Joy
(2004)
mixed media installation
Commissioned
by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art for the exhibition
'Cycle Tracks Will Abound in Utopia', Team
Joy questions the role of international organisations
in the wider ambitions of the world - if indeed there are
any.
In the piece, almost two hundred sticks appear
to support two walls that may either be falling down or
in the process of construction. Each stick represents an
international organisation with its length determined by
the number of that organisation's member countries. Every
country has a unique colour which is illustrated in the
key painted on the walls.
