Helena Huneke of Hamburg, Germany presented a project titled "a Quiet. b Quilt. c Quit. d Quite." Her spatially-oriented, experimental work is driven by language constructions. In former works, she had employed useless or broken objects which were transformed through lexical operations and poetic descriptions from states of decay to new modalities of function. In Los Angeles, Huneke reflected on the word "exile," by examining the particularity of the stranger's language in relation to an environment of displacement. With an interior installation (which serves to evoke the unconscious as well as an architectural situation), she created a spatial structure posing examples and questions in an abstract visualization of the term "Frauenzimmer" ("Women's Room").
