In a thirty-three second long promotional video Sola created for the exhibition, we are privy to an unlikely scene in which a bikini-clad ceramic artist sits behind a pottery wheel, turning a pot. Cut to a police officer standing nearby who appears to be writing the artist a ticket while discreetly making a highly detailed drawing of her dangling feather earring. The catchy baseline of Dolly Parton's song "9 to 5" is just beginning to reel us in, when the song abruptly stops and the tremble of a powerful earthquake takes over, quickly blanketing the scene in building detritus - plywood, insulation, and fragments of metal. Out of the rubble appears a pointed gun and a replica of an Oscar statue. The Oscar tips over, breaks and an animated dog emerges, barking the title, dates and location for the exhibition.
