For her WindowWorks project, Shipton again engages the public with a text-based work, posing the question “where are we going?” in large, red vinyl letters applied to the windows at Artpace San Antonio on 445 North Main Avenue and a satellite downtown space at 306 East Houston Street Hovering like road signs or thought bubbles next to contour drawings of highways, her words signal passersby to slow down and become conscious agents in the quickening currents of life. Exposed to pedestrian and city traffic, WHERE ARE WE GOING poignantly asks viewers to reflect on both personal directions and social trajectories, to consider both the immediate journey and the greater goal.
