Intermediate Preventive
“Intermediate Preventive is used for cables and wires installed outside” says Cameron Rowland. “It was designed for safety lighting or a surveillance camera. The metallic sheath prevents the cables from being cut. Intermediate Preventive is also made up of an ultra-resistant lighting system commonly used by New York’s Housing Authority. This light integrated into the work could never be part of a collection; it will always remain the property of the artist”. Inverting the usual relationship between artwork and viewer, Intermediate Preventive is a device that may be looking at you, while it foils those devices artists surrender to when they cede ownership of their work. The work points a mocking finger at economic domination in the art world, and seeks to actively resist it.
