sk 3000, 2024

collaboration with Andrew Demirjian

Two level sculpture with seating area and sound sculpture on 2nd level, and water fountain on ground level.

A multi-sensory ritual site to quench intellectual and physical thirst, SK3000 reinterprets the iconic Islamic architectural form of a sabil kuttab. Originating in the 1400s, the structure traditionally holds a community fountain at the ground level with a school built on top. The artists reimagine the sabil kuttab’s form and function for the future, in the context of privatization of water sources, democratic access to clean water, and as a learning space that resists education for productivity, profit, or politics. This piece was commissioned by Locust Projects in Miami, FL and exhibited March - May of 2024.
