Been too busy lately to mess with documentation and its dissemination, because I've been working every day on a large temporary installation. It's hard to tell from these photos, because everything is a mess of salvaged materials, sitting along-side modular pieces of the installation, but trust that it's all there. The work is designed and constructed by me—Justin Tyler Tate—for the 26th Yukon Riverside Arts Festival as part of the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture's Re:Imagine | Re:Create program, presented in collaboration with STEPS Public Art, with additional supported provided by Canada Council of the Arts.

I humbly and gratefully acknowledge this opportunity to stay, learn, and create on Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in traditional and contemporary territory.

From the very beginning: 'Lemonade Stand' from 2010. Constructed & performed on-site; on the Moon Fields outside of Cooper Pedy, AU; using borrowed tools and materials, and a few items bought from the shop.

Another one of my favorite old works: 'Event Horizon' from 2012. Constructed on-site over 4.5 days; on the ruins of Sigulda Castle; in Sigulda, Latvia; using the un-cut seating from their Opera Festival as the primary construction material.
