The Inflammatory installation was mounted at the Bronx Museum (the First AIM Biennial). It consisted of the word “inflammatory” written with two fire hoses over a red-to-orange wall painting, with a doctored fire extinguisher, a glass box full of matchbooks, and a video. The matchbooks are a work titled Rome; they state: “Rome was not Burnt in a Day.” The video shows a poet giving an impassioned reading of the dictionary definition of the word "inflammatory" into a bullhorn. The ensemble explores the linguistic sense of the word and its etymology, how the word may be used to attack speech, and its effect on the discourse of dialog.
