From the original proposal: “The Project Room is swallowed up in the SURAL™ WALL II, for it is as vast as suburban America. Sural conditions are so familiar that only in an art gallery one can focus, contemplate, and appreciate (for better or worse) the eerie beauty of the Mundane”. Construction management by Local 204, special thanks to J.R.G. Bowman, Sally Reynolds, Jimmy Shi and Frank Parish. The vinyl siding is provided by Lettermen Inc. It has been recycled from previous projects and will be recycled again, for it, unlike most things, can live forever.
