Your Land/My Land: Election '12 October 19, 2012

'Your Land/My Land: Election '12' is a reimagined installation originally presented by Jonathan Horowitz during the 2008 presidential election. At each location (as in '08), red and blue area rugs will divide the exhibition space into opposing zones, reflecting America's color-coded, political, and cultural divide. Back-to-back monitors will be suspended between the carpets, with one broadcasting a live feed of Fox News, the other of CNN. The installation will provide a location for people to gather and watch coverage of as well as talk about the presidential election. Its central trope is a divided United States swathed in only red and blue.
