Bernie Miller: Collision Monuments

Miller works on the edge of art and architecture. His startling creations - unlikely collisions of televisions with refrigerators and acoustic speakers with dishwashers - work as metaphors for consumer culture. Whether installed in a shopping mall parking lot or in a museum the works delight and disturb the viewer with a surrealism that is more than Miller's goal is to literally embody the catastrophe of consumerism gone awry. An essay an an interview are accompanied by models, sketches, plans and photographs of on-site installations.
