Just Crushing
In process since 2022
Performance
Drawing upon the theatrics of Carnivale, the hometown grandiosity of state fairs, and the rich history of destructive art, Just Crushing will feature vehicles—each ornately decorated by teens to represent a political issue they care about—slowly annihiliating one another as two commentators shout their action from competing points of view. In this way, Just Crushing literalizes the weaponization of issues and us-versus-them political culture pervading nearly every aspect of life. The project will be performed in Eastern Iowa, in July 2025.
