Acid Migration of Culture (1994), occupied the main windows of the Donnell Library, the branch of the New York Public Library directly across from the Museum of Modern Art. The piece concerns the hot topic of censorship in the arts with statements from over fifty artists, critics, politicians, and religious leaders. 

The frame in this case is a 45-foot long photo mural that shows the open pages of a dictionary. The words defined on these two pages cover the entire alphabet:  terms such as ‘art,’ ‘blasphemy,’ ‘civilization,’ ‘diversity,’ ‘family values,’ ‘freedom,’ ‘representation.’ 

Set into each page like portholes or wormholes are two video monitors, without sound, that present a range of opinions in scrolling text, accompanied by a photo identifying each speaker as well as intermittent images, such as flames over landmark legal texts and once-banned books spinning across the screen.  At the center where the pages meet are the doors to the library.
