Oakwood Apartments by David Commander

January 10 at 10pm (at the Wild Project Bar)

Tickets: $20

Oakwood Apartments is an installation set up like a ramshackle security booth for an aging and dilapidated apartment complex. Several monitors capture footage from surveillance cameras fixed onto miniature sets of lobbies, elevators, loading docks etc. The largest of these monitors shows the footage from a live camera that moves down the hallway of the Oakwood Apartment complex (a dollhouse-like construction which is strewn about the installation). The live camera visits the tenants (action figures) of various apartments as they talk about the life they have built at Oakwood and their disappointment of an unfulfilled future that was promised to them. As they dream about living in a world with an overabundance of vending machines, security from neighbors and finished floors, a wrecking ball swings closer and closer.
