The core of the exhibition is composed of three new projects built on-site by past Walker artists-in-residence. Choreographer Ralph Lemon’s installation is a landscape of memory and history re-created from his stage set for Come home Charley Patton (2004), the third part of his Geography Trilogy co-commissioned and presented by the Walker. This work collides with and counterbalances other scenarios of “home” made by Catherine Opie and Sam Durant during their residencies in 2002. Filmmaker Spencer Nakasako, whose self-activated video booth was shown here in 2001, creates a digital media station for recording and playing videos within the exhibition as well as expanding interactive communication between the gallery and the outside world. Visual artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, continuing his influential practice of transforming the gallery into a social space, builds a stage / lounge enlivened by a series of programs for use by visitors.
