An installation on Alcatraz Island for four months that brought together the real voices of parents of murdered children and perpetrators in an effort to create a common ground around The Table; a context for communication to occur. Visitors to the installation would pick up a phone on one side of the 6'x5'x54' table and hear the voice of a parent of a murdered child, real voice, real time; move to the other side of the table and listen to the voice of the perpetrator, real voice, real time "talking" to each other. An attempt to create a common ground, a context for communication to occur. Surrounding the table are memorabilia hung on the wall from perpetrators and victims. A library was also created to provide the range of research available around these issues as well as a small edition (8) of Artist Books. In conjunction with the installation a series of "Community Conversations"Ýtake place that bring together parents of murdered children, survivors of violent crime and ex-offenders to dialogue around issues raised by The Table.
