Good Boy Bad Boy, 1985. the installation employs two actors, Joan Lancaster and Tucker Smallwood, who are presented in close-up, like newscasters, on two separate monitors. Each recites a one-hundred-line commentary on the human condition that includes passages such as “I was a good boy/You were a good boy/We were good boys” and “I hate/You hate/We hate/This is hating.” Directly confronting the viewer, they deliver each repetition with increased emotional intensity, shifting in and out of sync with one another. Two color videos, sound, two monitors on two pedestals; Tape I (male): 60 min. loop; Tape II (female): 52 min. loop. Edition number twenty-nine of forty. Gift of Lannan Foundation, 1997.150.
