Monument (Colonial Version), 1980-1
This piece was a very hard hitting work about sacrifice that people take in saving the ones that they loved to complete strangers. All these people died in their attempts to save people from fires, drowning and many other situations that put themselves in harms way for the sake of others.

Pieces I Never Did, 1979
This was the most entertaining and powerful piece in the exhibition by far. It showed three televisions, one showing the artist talk about ideas that he had but had not attempt and giving the reasons for why he did not. The other cameras were of his ideas put into motion. For instance he had the idea to shout 'shut up!' at the top of his voice until it went coarse. This piece was very fast paced and the viewer had to hold concentration to keep up with all three cameras.
