STATEMENT
AMERICAN TESTIMONIAL

American Testimonial is a reflection on the state of culture and media in the United States.  The project
consists of 40 wooden tablets, each engraved with juxtapositions of famous contemporary stars with
influential, canonized artists from the last century.  This is what we think and here is the
proof
etched
in
wood.


The commandment-like tablets are at once cheeky and authentic, asking viewers:  When it comes to American
culture how is Paris Hilton related to Mark Rothko?

Tablets were posted in each of five U.S. cities (Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, Seattle and San
Francisco) on the same date, Saturday, May 19th, 2007.
