XIX Amendment Installation
Drenttel Doyle Projects, New York, New York, 1995
Description
The objective of this installation was to increase awareness of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment. The budget was small and the space that was to house the installation enormous. By enlarging the text to fill the room, the designers confronted passersby with the monumental one-sentence amendment itself — twenty-eight revolutionary words that were wrestled with and fought over for more than seventy years. The “tower” presents historical references that enlighten the history of the struggle for suffrage, its leaders, and their public and private dramas.
