do you throw out your gold shoes? do you see how they roll?

gold shoes for gainsborough.

gold shoes (tomoro i will read the toe tags)-- i read the toe tag news today. each pair of gold-encrusted shoes represents a body murdered by gun. they run from guns no more.

in remember the show we did in an old munitions factory in berlin. one artist put hundreds of shoes with mirrors inside. empty shoes are so loaded. hell, specially in berlin. our installation was astroturf wrapped around the empty shapes where the machines were removed i think unconsciously echoing christo's wrapped islands, as he was then wrapping the reichstag. 

but only later did i think of that, this.

at the time i thought caption it was the spoils of empire.
