Wayfinding

by Cheryl Wassenaar

Exhibition Dates: March 2019 through March 2020

Location: Terminal 2 between gates E33 & E34

Wayfinding by St. Louis artist Cheryl Wassenaar repurposes commercial, real estate, and business signage to indirectly communicate with travelers. By combining fragments of multiple signs with various indistinguishable texts and symbols, Wassenaar reimagines their original purpose and reclaims the region’s history.

The exhibition Wayfinding was composed of seven pieces made from found signage: dash, channel II, lock, decibel, parlance, towers of babble VN and AG, and the freestanding Tower of Babble 24. The final piece of the exhibition, You Call It a Cloud: Ascent is a custom-made 22’ long collage of metallic words on wood, featuring a poem by St. Louis poet Stephanie Schlaifer.
