Performance artist Chris Burden’s 1987 installation
of 625 tiny models represents the entire U.S. submarine fleet dating from the
late 1890s, when subs entered the Navy’s arsenal, to the late 1980s. Now at the Palm Springs Art Museum.
Burden (1946-2015) suspended the
cardboard models on monofilaments from the ceiling, placing them at various
heights so that as a group they appear to be a school of fish swimming through
the ocean of the gallery space.
