Cameron Rowland, The Hold, 2017, Container foundations, twistlocks, Lloyd’s Register certificates; Lloyd’s of London monopolized the marine insurance of the slave trade by the early 18th century. Lloyd’s Register was established in 1760 as the first classification society in order to provide insurance underwriters information on the quality of vessels. The classification of the ship allows for a more accurate assessment of its risk. Lloyd’s Register and other classification societies continue to survey and certify shipping vessels and their equipment. Twistlocks physically secure goods in the hold, locking them to the hull and to each other. The certification of lashing equipment is established to insure the value of the goods regardless of their potential loss; Louise Lawler, Formica (adjusted to fit, distorted for the times, slippery slope 3), 2018, Courtesy of the artist and Metro Pictures, New York; Nina Canell & Robin Watkins, Cable diagrams, 2014/2018, Courtesy of the artists and Galerie Barbara Wien, photo: Peter Mochi

Sam Lewitt, Stranded Asset: Filler, 2017, Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Buchholz Berlin/Cologne/New York; Cameron Rowland, Pass-Thru, 2014, Courtesy of the artist and ESSEX STREET, New York: In some places, businesses use a pass-thru, to pass cash or goods back and forth; this could be at a bank or a liquor store. The highest standard of pass-thru use bullet proof glass, although this material is far too expensive to be used as a protective measure by those businesses where it might be most effective. Therein plastic is used in place of bullet proof glass. They are either made by a manufacturer or by the shop owner. This Pass-Thru was made by Rowland.
