Survival Kits

September 9-October 22, 2005
I Space, Chicago
Curated by Sarah Kanouse & Nick Brown

Stockyard Institute brought together a collection of weapons (toy guns) as 'Survival Kits'. The project sought through dialogue with youth what the necessary tools and materials were deemed appropriate for the natural environment. Through exchanges about the nature of surplus items, camping and survivalist elements, the guns became a common denominator, marking a clear means to edit out only the specific or specific group of items for maneuvering in an environment, naturally uncomfortable.
