Curatorial note

From the curb, the pink-handled lid of the black trash bin rests near the railing, with the blue recycling bin beside it. Since January 2026, this curbside assemblage has persisted at the entrance, occupying the threshold between private interior and public sidewalk. The composition anchors the Graduate Hospital streetscape as a durable presence in ordinary municipal life.
