Serrated (Raymond Johnson Project) - video/performance

The Raymond Johnson Project was a response to this historical event: “In November 1971, 34-year-old Raymond Johnson, a laborer installing Serra's Sculpture No. 3 at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, was crushed to death when a two-ton steel plate toppled over on him. A subsequent lawsuit absolved the artist and museum of blame.” Wikipedia.

A series of interventions to try and understand Mr. Johnson’s death and how that event operates in the wider art market/industry sometimes referring to Serra’s work – although it is not important in this.

Scratching the name Raymond Johnson with fingernails on the side of the Serra sculpture in London. ”Fulcrum is a large sculpture installed in 1987 near the western entrance to Liverpool Street station, London, as part of the Broadgate development. The sculpture consists of five pieces of Cor-Ten steel, and is approximately 55 feet (17m) tall.” Wikipedia.
