Allora & Calzadilla

Parlour Projects, Brooklyn, NY

"Do not enter your home"

Allora & Calzadilla are a collaborative team based out of Brooklyn, NY and San Juan, Puerto Rico. "DO NOT ENTER YOUR HOME," their exhibition at PARLOUR PROJECTS is a site-specific work created for this exhibition. The project refers to the nature of the exhibition space, one connected to a living space, as a meeting of public and private spheres. Bisecting the space is a large mirror-finished sign on which is printed a text. The text is the New York State Law which outlines the definition of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree; the intent to damage private property. Allora & Calzadilla's work functions both as an illustration and invocation to action, encouraging viewers to consider the intersection of these public and private realms.

Allora & Calzadilla's work can also be seen at EL MUSEO DEL BARRIO in the exhibition "The S-Files." As a featured event for Museum Mile, on 13 June, Allora & Calzadilla will present "Chalk." Large scale sticks of chalk, 8 inches in diameter and 5 feet long, can be used by the public to write on a mile-long stretch of Fifth Avenue, which is closed for evening events. This work engages issues of communication on both monolithic and personal levels.
