                                                              1969/2005, Edition of 30; Photogravure, 177/8 x 21 inches, signed, dated and titled on face; Published by Stalke Gallery, Copenhagen, printed by Niels Borch Jensen, Copenhagen, 2005 

The artist photographed a pair of flight pigeons mating on a target in her1991 installation of Plain Air at PS 1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. The installation recreates the 1969 original in which two mourning doves were released in the artist’s studio with a 27 inch suspended bicycle wheel. Respecting the larger museum space, the components were doubled in scale and number. The title is a pun.
