“The booths are relics of a controversy,” said Foundation Director Quang Bao. “They look like a
Get Smart contraption. If you think about each of the artist’s five booths carefully—respectively
destroyed, encased, wrapped, embattled, and held accountable—you see how the political
materials are made so descriptive of and consequential to the present.”
The original booths were donated to the Rema Hort Mann Foundation by Jamie and Peter Hort.
Sale of the works through the RHM Foundation will benefit the Foundation’s grant programs in
support of cancer patients and visual artists. The Voting Booth Project is sponsored by the Lower
Manhattan Cultural Council, September 11th Fund, and private donors. The exhibition will travel to
Lehmann Maupin and be on view November 7-8.
