For the CAA Annual Conference, YBLA produced an interactive site-specific installation project where comfortable pillows are dispersed in the hallways outside the presentation rooms and on the concrete seats outside the conventions center to add a warm texture and color to the otherwise sterile environment.  The pillows would offer the conference participants a comfortable place to sit and relax whether they might be catching their breath, reflecting on the ideas they just picked up at a session or contemplating on how their qualifications are in accord with the needs of the institution they are applying for employment. These pillows would carry the inscription “wish I were here” to allude to the escape they instigate, whether it might refer to a fantasy, aspiration, longing or feelings of exclusion. Another possible interpretation of “wish I were here” can be being physically present but mentally or emotionally absent. The writing would also acknowledge those who are physically absent from the CAA Conference. View Full Press Release
