Babel 2001 is a large-scale sculptural installation that takes the form of a circular tower made from hundreds of second-hand analogue radios that the artist has stacked in layers. The radios are tuned to a multitude of different stations and are adjusted to the minimum volume at which they are audible. (...)

The installation manifests, quite literally, a Tower of Babel, relating it to the biblical story of a tower tall enough to reach the heavens, which, offending God, caused him to make the builders speak in different tongues. Their inability to communicate with one another caused them to become divided and scatter across the earth and, moreover, became the source of all of mankind’s conflicts.

It's a RADIO TOWER!

Thanks @to-the-fishies for doing an ID and naming the artist, I was so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a picture of the placard.

[ID: a sculpture by Cildo Meireles consisting of a tall, thick tower, roughly twenty feet high, made completely of radios and boom boxes from a number of eras in the 20th and 21st centuries. There's one in there that's the same model as the one I owned in high school.]

A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai)

A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai) is a color photograph made by Jeff Wall in 1993. The large photograph is a rework version of the woodcut Yejiri Station, Province of Suruga (c. 1832) by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (the great wave of kanagawa). The picture is displayed in a light box and it has the dimensions of 250 by 397 cm. It belongs to the collection of the Tate Modern, in London.

Wall worked on this photograph for five months. It involved four actors and it was shot in a landscape near Vancouver, British Columbia, when the appropriate weather conditions where in effect. He modified and collaged elements of the picture digitally for the final result

Took the Chicago boy less than an hour to find the hot dog.

It actually is a sculpture of a hot dog, but it's about nuclear anxiety. Sure, why not?

[ID: a sculpture by Colin Self featuring a hot dog, roughly three feet long, cast in black resin, with an equally black bun that is torn and spiky in places.]
