15 Minutes of Fame

- an interactive installation created and facilitated by Amanta Scott, featuring:

• a bare prison bed (from the former Kingston Penitentiary for Women)
• a prison 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 - then:
present and discuss their installation with other visitors
write about their installation in the Book of Fame,
which is on site and open for everyone to read.
Other visitors are invited to write comments
about this and other installations in the Book of Fame.
Each installation remains on display
for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Installations are documented through digital photos and posted subsequently online.
