I would arrange these pieces in one room because they each represent water through different media. Hans Haacke’s Condensation Cube is a sculpture that is constantly active on its own. The water from the bottom of the cube evaporates, becomes condensation on the top of the cube, and then trickles back down to the bottom. Maya Lin’s Dew Point is also a sculpture, but serves a different purpose to that of Haacke’s. Dew Point is a large representation of water beads. Her representation plays tricks on the eye by appearing to be large drops of water when they are actually different sized pieces of blown glass. I would also install the large video projection from the point of view from the front of a speedboat. In the bottom center is an image of the wake of the boat. While some of the pieces in the Water Show are similar to others, This piece is completely unique. It also depicts water as a vessel for traveling. Next to the video projection I would put one of Hughie Lee Smith’s Women in the Waves paintings. If presented next to the grand projection of a boat’s perspective, the small painting of a woman in waves would further accentuate the theme of women being historically depicted as fragile and nude, and men as conquerors of the sea.
