Waiting for Godot Sculpture

García Sinclair (RISD BFA Sculpture 2015) American, b. 1975 Nafis White (RISD BFA Sculpture 2015) American, b. 1977 Waiting for Godot 2013 Steel, individually hand-formed triangles, welded, galvanized and painted Courtesy of the artists Waiting for Godot conceptually expresses the ongoing struggles for equality currently facing LGBTQ communities on a personal, local and global scale. This work acknowledges the historical symbolism of the pink triangle which gay prisoners were forced to wear as shame badges in Nazi concentration camps, and recognizes the LGBTQ community’s contemporary reclamation of the symbol as a sign of pride, strength, unity and visibility. Each triangle was formed in the most laborious fashion. There are nearly 600 individual triangles joined together by over 5,000 welds. Nothing was streamlined and logic was purposely resisted. The inconvenient process employed speaks to the slow and unjust struggle in the movement towards equality. Sitings 2013: Power Station is an annual competition that invites RISD students to respond to the Museum’s architectural idiosyncrasies, collection, and habits of visitation. Begun in 1995, the Sitings competition fosters direct interaction between the Museum, students, and the public. This year the two winning projects were selected by New York-based artist Alejandro Diaz. Sitings is funded by the Artist’s Development Fund of the Rhode Island Foundation.
