Allora & Calzadilla: Chalk

For the occasion of their solo show at Walker Art Centre, Puerto Rico–based artist-duo Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla have placed human-size sticks of chalk—each to fill Gallery 7, which has been transformed into an environment open to spontaneous mark-making.

This installation has been presented in various cities around the world, including Lima, Peru; Zapopan, Mexico; Sydney; Paris; Boston; and New York. Chalk provides a physical forum for participants to exchange ideas, evolving into a social and political portrait of the community.
