Dale Malner 

Crib, a 20 foot construction with a nest-like top made out of multicoloured ‘kindling’ sticks, by Dalner Malner and Bruce Severson, U.S.A., was one of about ten actvities during the Fieldwork 1994 four hour long arts festival of interventions on the streets in Madison.

Dale Malner, is one of the 4 artists in the artist collective, Fieldwork, that organizes exhibitions, projects and festivals in and around Madison.

Influenced by his former job, organizing and installing museum exhibitions, Malner’s work also includes references to the industry of art, such as crating, packaging and shipping art and to art as a process.
Hence Crib is a work in process, as it was constructed and then deconstructed rather than a sculptural object.
