- Notes:
- The work appears to have been first produced as the Momart Christmas gift for 1998. Thereafter, it was also sold separately by Langlands & Bell. Both versions issued in identical perspex cases. The paper sleeve enveloping the case varies.
Produced in conjunction with the artists' book of the same title, by Landlands & Bell (see link provided herewith). The title of the work is derived from the cities of Floro, Norway; Zenag, Papua New Guinea; and Sandusky, Ohio. The face of the watch is covered with 25 three-letter airline abbreviations of worldwide cities. Langlands & Bell focus of urban centers "in an abstract constellation evoking the persistent transience of contemporary urban life."
BAC: British Art Center has two versions, housed together: the one produced as the Momart Christmas gift, and the one produced separately (the packaging of which bears no mention of Momart). - Subject Terms:
