Curatorial note

Seen at the Benson Street curb in Rhawnhurst, the diagonally striped barrier anchors a void in the street surface. The high-contrast geometry foregrounds the excavation and its rubble, turning a temporary repair into a formal presence. Acquired January 2026 and on view for 117 days, the work stands as a record of ongoing municipal maintenance along the curb edge.
