Cady Noland — Industry Park
Cady Noland

Industry Park

Industry Park is a stark installation by Cady Noland consisting of zinc-plated steel chain link fence, a material laden with associations of confinement, exclusion, and the delineation of property. The work channels the visual language of industrial zones, correctional facilities, and contested public spaces, reflecting Noland's broader investigation into power structures and the darker undercurrents of American society. Its raw, utilitarian aesthetic resists traditional notions of sculptural beauty, instead confronting the viewer with the cold materiality of control and surveillance.
