I went back today to take down my Girl Sign installations. There was neither damage nor defacement to the pieces. The tackiness of the tape that adhered them had started to wane so they began to pull off the wall. I was disappointed to see that the Man Sign did not have the outfit promised to him. I'll be curious to hear if anyone notices the absence of their outfits. The presence of absence seems so postmodern somehow. As does my disappointment that the art was not mangled or damaged (or perhaps that's post-postmodern). It's summertime, so there is not a lot of traffic in the hallowed halls. I'm curious what people thought and if the outfits increased their identifications with the Signs, or if they were even noticed.
