“Vieques Videos” includes Returning a Sound (2004), which upon initial viewing appears clumsy, even foolish, due to the absurdity of a young boy riding his moped with a gleaming trumpet attached to the exhaust pipe. Following this “activist” across the small island provides a lackluster yet hypnotic effect; the sound of the bike’s engine and the spluttering off-pitch sound of the trumpet are constantly at battle. Vieques, or “little girl island,” off the coast of Puerto Rico, is a politically charged landscape that acts as a remote setting for all of these scripted sequences. In Returning a Sound, the relationship between location and choice of instrument is not insignificant. The work Under Discussion (2005) depicts another “activist” taking an upturned table, fitted with engine and rudder, out across the restricted waters to a former military base that has since been designated as a federal wildlife refuge. Half Mast/Full Mast (2010) is the final “island” work: jutting flag poles delineating political and social landmarks are here readdressed in the form of agile young men hoisting themselves up horizontally as human flags. These off-kilter island studies are all fully engaging, even if their topicality is perhaps questionable.
