Brad Fiore: Friends Forever

Friends Forever

Lynden Sculpture Garden Porch

Friends Forever is an artwork by Brad Fiore that consists of the permanent installation of smoke detectors in various Milwaukee locations. The devices are installed in the usual manner, discreetly positioned so as not to interfere with the building's day-to-day functioning and aesthetic. A typical visitor to the installation site may not be aware of the device’s significance, or the scope of the network that it signifies, but they are nonetheless protected by its vigilance. This protection, and this inclusion within a network, are gifts, given in the hope that they may be useful to the institution.
