This raft was created especially for the exhibition, Direct Action (Direct Action), presented at Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York city, where all the works revolve in some way around the ground, support, platform, direct actions of singing, a space for meeting and interaction. The raft is there pointing to the urgency, also the metronome of cement. We're running out of time and it is highly probable that in a few years the soil of New York is under the water. To make the raft, with the help of Storefront, the artist took a few roadblocks from the police in New York that were grafiteadas and folded some time in the corner of Lafayette with Spring St., and used 35 gallons of plastic from its own domestic consumption of milk and apple juice, that you saved during the preparation of the exhibition. The raft was constructed in such a manner that works both as a raft, in the event of a catastrophe, and as a stage, while this need is not yet present.
