This book marks the long-term installation of Robert Gober's (born 1954) seminal Untitled (1992) at Glenstone Museum. Untitled is an immersive, multi-sensorial installation with diverse constituent parts: sinks with running water, darkened exterior pathways, a brightly-lit interior chamber, a hand-painted 360-degree mural and discrete sculptural elements made to appear like prison windows, boxes of rat bait and bundles of newspaper. Robert Gober includes never-before-published archival images of the work's original presentation at the Dia Center for the Arts in New York, an oral history based on interviews with the artist and collaborators, an original essay by author Jim Lewis and extensive imagery of the piece as installed at Glenstone Museum.
