Description
Comma Boat is one of four movies to date completed in 2013 by Trecartin, first shown as a work in progress at the Arsenale of the the Venice Biennale. Since settling in Los Angeles in 2010, Fitch and Trecartin have designed and built a modular maze of sets on a soundstage with the help of Hollywood technicians who have rigged the space with lights and hydraulics enabling it to move and change for different projects.

Exhibition & Distribution Conditions
When installed in a gallery or museum for public exhibition, Comma Boat is ideally projected on three walls of equal width,
arranged to feel as though they enclose a square room in which the viewer is standing. Each of the three projections should be
centered on its wall, taking up at least 3/4 of the wall?s width. The images on all three walls should be identical sizes. If the layout
of the exhibition space requires, the walls may be splayed outward so that the angles between them are greater than 90 degrees,
up to a limit of 115 degrees (closer to 90 is better).
Important note regarding the multi channel nature of Comma Boat: The original and proper format of the artwork includes all
three channels, and as such all three channels must be exhibited together. The only exceptions to this rule are where 3-channel
installation is prohibited due to format restrictions i.e. theatrical or online exhibition. In either of these cases, the single-channel
version of Comma Boat may be used.
