.- For Abigail DeVille, whose projects employ salvaged materials to address themes often obscured in American history, the opportunity was to make something big. At the center of her multipart installation in Brand New Heavies, a three-artist exhibition at Pioneer Works, in Brooklyn, is a 20-foot-tall metal and chicken wire structure inspired by the U.S. Capitol dome.
