• Scott C Durkin
Franklin Furnace’s The Future of the Present 2000 presents Shared Identity, a project by Scott Durkins.
Artist’s statement:
For this event I have coordinated a simultaneous action, the accumulation of sand from East and West coast beaches, with my twin brother across the country. He has completed the designated event as Scott C. Durkin in California, while I completed the action as myself, Scott C. Durkin in New Jersey. Thus I existed in two locations at once. The California version of myself then transported the excavated material (sand) to myself in N.J. Where the excavated material from both events was combined during a live netcast, supported by Franklin Furnace, and then distributed, via US Mail, to others across the country who share the name Scott C Durkin. This piece illustrates the shared identity we all have with complete strangers.
