On the Count is a meditation on the U.S. carceral system that is curated by Caddell Kivett, the artistic director of Prison Reimagined. This project consisted of the creation of 2,000 ceramic torso-shaped forms that were each hand-formed and individually pierced 1,000 times by artist Gina Lee Robbins, representing the almost 2 million people currently incarcerated in all 50 states. The exhibition also includes photo documentation of temporary installations in view of several detention sites throughout Indiana.
On the Count was made possible through the Power Plant Grant Program of Big Car Collaborative funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts.
