15 Minutes of Fame is an interactive installation featuring:
a bare prison bed; blanket, sheet & pillow;
and a standard-issue prison suitcase
containing assorted personal items . . .

Visitors are invited to:

  • open the suitcase; consider, select and arrange items
    upon and around the bed to create a new installation -
    a personal artistic statement about incarceration...
  • present and discuss their installation with other visitors
  • write about their installation in the Book of Fame -
    on site and open for everyone to read.
  • Other visitors are invited to write comments
    about any installations in the Book of Fame.
After creating an installation, visitors discuss their work with the audience.
The ensuing discussions and exchanges are fascinating.

Visitors explain why they have chosen to place an object in a given place,
what they are trying to convey,
how they feel about the prison bed, what role they themselves play within the installation
and how the work affects them personally.
