Calendar of Rain

Hudson River Museum 1999 and Larry Becker Contemporary Art 1993.

Each day of the show is represented by a bottle sandblasted with that days date. The current day’s bottle is placed under a flask. If it rained or snowed that day, the precipitation is funneled into the gallery. After 24 hours, the bottle is capped and placed back into the calendar, a series of five glass shelves representing each month. By the end of the show, the piece had created a bar graph of rainfall for each week.
