Treadmill for textiles

  Chow

"Come, run in me'' (video, audio, wood, vinyl, acrylic, treadmill, spray paint, LED light strips, speaker, fabric and tag fastener), by CHRISTY CHOW, from the series "Laborland,'' in the show "Now You See Me: The Best of the Northeast Masters of Fine Arts,'' at the Helen Day Art Center, in Stowe, Vt., through Aug. 23.

With this installation, she wants us to consider the low-wage laborers needed to produce our clothes.

Maybe, but she may as likely be getting people to think about their local YMCA.
