Skate-bowls San Juan: Words For Image

Two digital prints serve as the foundation for this mixed media drawing, overlaid with handwritten pastel lettering that integrates text and image into a unified visual statement. Acconci, known for blurring the boundaries between language, architecture, and the body, uses words as both compositional elements and conceptual anchors, reflecting his ongoing investigation into public space and human interaction. The work's title references San Juan, suggesting a site-specific dialogue between place, form, and the sculptural possibilities of the skate-bowl as an urban environment.
