Commande publique du National Trade Centre à Toronto.
This commission consists of a 1000 laser-cut stainless steel names that hang in a series of chains in the 800 foot long Grand Concourse of the National Trade Centre in Toronto. During the month of June 1996 I put out a call for names through the local media. From the thousands of names submitted I randomly drew 1000 names to be included in the work. The names are then typeset, laser-cut from 1/8" stainless steel and joined together in chains of up to 6 names long.
