Nest Egg
An Installation by Cindy Tower
March 1 - 30
Opening Reception Friday March 1, 6-10pm

Good Citizen is pleased to present “Nest Egg”, an installation project by Cindy Tower.

“Nest Egg” aims to disclose how the rich get even richer by revealing existing loopholes in tax laws that favor the rich, by crating a three dimensional tax avoiding structure and diagram made from found and recycled materials. The installation will provide the viewer with a visceral, physical experience that not only engages but also actually engulfs the viewer in the self-contained environment.

Daughter of a test pilot, Cindy Tower was born on Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Tower hitchhiked to New York upon receiving her BFA from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and became an early pioneer of the Williamsburg art scene in the early eighties. Tower received her MFA from the University of California, San Diego in 1988 and studied with Allan Kaprow and Eleanor Antin. Tower focused on installation art for over twenty years and painting for the last decade.

Tower has exhibited nationally and has been the focus of numerous one-person exhibitions including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, Patrice Landau Gallery, Trans Hudson, Serge Sorokko Gallery in New York, Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis.

Tower has survived as a free-lance artist in New York working in the Television and Publishing industries. In 2005 she moved from New York to St. Louis to paint disappearing industries, and has been visiting assistant professor of painting at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. She has lectured and taught at The New York Studio School in New York, and has been a visiting artist at The Savannah College of Art and Design.
