Screen at FDA
Fine Arts Collection
U.S. General Services Administration
Screen at FDA is a site-specific installation made up of thousands of multi-colored figures. From a distance the piece reads as an exuberant abstraction—large circles of primary colors floating in a field. The circles, signifying distinct bodies such as countries, groups, or organizations, are made up of over 30,000 figures, including individuals dressed in FDA lab coats.
Screen at FDA explores the relationship between the collective and the individual—the idea that everything is connected and part of a larger system. The reading of the piece on both a macro and a micro level highlights the integral role that the FDA plays in our society.
