A symbol of urban renewal, the modular chain-link fence is the perfect surround for the gutted or demolished building awaiting finalization of the developer's financing package. Fences can last for years.
Gary Kachadourian spends a lot of time thinking about the uses and furnishings of public space. This is clear from the large amount of work he has done to catalog very banal, every day, small events through making drawings and then reproducing them either in posters that are life size (sometimes up to the entire facade of a small building) to this creation which is 1/35th of the actual size.
