Wind

A flag is an invitation for wind. People were invited to three bare flagpoles in an empty lot in Detroit. On the middle pole they could enter into a hoody / monks robe with 20 ft long sleeves. When fully zipped into the hoody/robe by a partner, the partner would then pull the rope and slowly raise the sleeves (which were attached to a crossbar) up the flagpole. After eventually lowering the arms…the partners would then switch. This process was done every sunrise and sunset for 40 days. Psalms were also read at these raising and lowerings. Wind was a piece commissioned by Cranbrook Museum.
