James Avery and Eleanor Avery -- c o l l a b o r a t i o n
FONTANA AMSTRADA is James and Eleanor's new installation, combining references to rationalist architecture with early computer game iconography, given a bit of an Italian inflection. It's a monument to minor cult ideologies, part icon, part arcade game, part statue come fountain.
