The second home for \u00a0America’s Teddy Bear was at Isola Galerie in Frankfurt, Germany in 2018. He spent all summer in a sunny, well-lit window at the heart of the lively neighborhood of Bockenheim. The total count of bullets for this installation was 470<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This was my first live performance for the installation. During the first part of the performance, while shooting the nerf bullets onto the teddy, we showed a video clip of Emma Gonzalez \u2013a Parkland High School student and survivor\u2013 of the powerful and emotional speech she gave days after the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>

Isola Galerie also hosted a\u00a0finissage<\/em> in which we invited visitors to help un-install the Teddy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
