COLLABORATIVE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT WITH ERIN MCKAY POTTER & ERIN ALIQUO.

MOXIE ART SUPPLY, MURFREESBORO, TN. April 2015.

COSMIC TRUCK STOP

INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION

“Aliens are the subject of much myth and speculation, but the Cosmic Truck Stop unlocks the mystery surrounding a particular group of extraterrestrials. On a cosmic tourist route across the galaxy, all these creatures have learned about earth in their travels is that they love the earthling sport called golf, and are even more intrigued with the music and style of Alice Cooper.

On their way to Arizona to get a taste of real golf and hopefully catch a glance of Alice, their ship took a wrong turn. A portal opened right here inside Moxie Art Supply, and they landed here instead.

Instead of fretting, they made the best of their situation and opened the Cosmic truck stop. After all, don’t all earthling tourists also stop at truck stops? Thanks to Glenn’s open mind, hospitality, and ability to quickly learn their language, the truck stop remains here, for all of you to enjoy.”

 

As we raise the floor 3 feet and lowered the ceiling to create a space perfect for our new alien friends we bring into question ideas of absurdity and social interaction. so what exactly do aliens, Alice Cooper, and golf have in common?
