Curatorial note

From its position at the curb on 191 W Tioga St in Upper Kensington, the work presents as a durable, everyday object in public space. The front bumper's lower edge shows a subtle misalignment that catches light in the near foreground, anchoring the car to its street-side address. Acquired January 2026, on view for 119 days, this piece remains open and visible as part of the neighborhood's material history, commissioned by the Police Department.
