The folks at Angel's Fruit Market were happy to loan me one stand.

On a late night evening stroll in Bushwick I spotted an old shop-fan stand with a tire on top of it instead of a fan. This "tire stand" served as a visual non-verbal sign post for a tire repair shop.  I fell in love with it!  With the help of a couple of spanish translators (friends and a helpful Argentinian artist named Lia who offered her services via twitter) I convinced the guys at the tire shop to rent me their tire sign for $75.00.

Then, on a hot day in July, I rented a van and collected the iron and tire stand from Bushwick and delivered them to Westfield Sheet Metal, a metal fabricator located in Kenilworth, New Jersey. They've been proudly making metal for eighty-seven years.  With their expertise, we decided to remake the iron angle stand, copying the one borrowed from the market, adding a bottom to the original design and painting the new stands in high-gloss black and white, therefore readying them for their window display (Incident Report) viewing station.

I also decide to clean-up and paint the tire stand in high-gloss red.  The tire stand will be returned to the tire repair shop.  I am assuming they will like it red.

There are five total sculptures; a newly painted red shop-fan stand (minus the fan) with the originally-painted yellow tire on top of it and 4 new rectangular, fish-tank like, iron angle stands, two that are white and two that are black.

The pictures below correspond to the order of events and include some installation shots.
