Glass Outhouse, 2002


As part of Upstate Art Weekend 2022, OSMOS premiered Patrick Killoran’s Glass Outhouse. First shown in 2002 at New York’s Sculpture Center, Glass Outhouse consists of a standard portable toilet fitted by Killoran with transparent flexiglass walls and doors that allow the occupant to see out, without the public being able to see in. The piece explores the boundaries of the private and the public, whilst also existing as a fully functional work of art. This participatory sculpture will remain at OSMOS Station in Stamford, NY for visitors to use and experience for the coming season.
