Ohio Gauntlet is a 725’ walkway and structural “tunnel” straddling an existing low concrete wall along the Monongahela River at its confluence with the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers. Every twelfth board on the walkway was inscribed with the name of an animal and the numbers of furs notated in an account book kept by George Allen, a British fur trader operating at this site in 1759. Native Americans would arrive to sell their furs, would be plied with booze by Mr. Allen, who then tipped the scales in his favor, thus cheating them in the transaction. In this sense, Ohio Gauntlet is a time-based, three-dimensional account book of colonialist tactics. It asks the viewer to walk along an historical trajectory of time in situ, and to take stock of the truths of civilization that, in the words of Alfred North Whitehead, continue to “haunt our waterways.”
