John’s stuff

John's Stuff

Looking for someone to connect the temporary artist commune "Institute for Social Research" in San Francisco more with the city and its people, I invite John, who is homeless, to stay with us. He takes part in the lectures and meetings and gets involved with the rather distrustful group. After two weeks he is suddenly gone. His left-behind things serve as my sculpture until he wants them back. Every time John's Stuff change location, notes are stuck to the same street lamp so that he always knows where his stuff is stored and when the sculpture is part of an exhibition.
