Aluminum markers, soil boring
Dimensions
8" dia. markers, 12' borings
Core Swap is an installation of two aluminum plates that mark the location where earth cores have been drilled from the ground at Socrates Sculpture Park. A truck-mounted auger was used to bore down to a depth of 12′ and the samples were then exchanged, filling the cavity left by the other drilling. The Broadway Billboard is a proscenium opening onto the location and activity of the event. The image is a mirrored depiction of the same truck and crew drilling at the two different sites in the Park.
