FIVE TON MONKEY
Design and Fabrication for Film and the Larger World
National Civil Rights / Nike
Tigerbelles
We provided development and proof-of-concept work, before executing this piece with Kevin Pierce,
who conceived of and developed the project. The substrate is 5ft x 10ft x 1” acrylic, and the design is
represented in over 20,000 anodized runners’ spikes. The piece resides in the National Civil
Rights Museum in Memphis, TN. It was commissioned by Nike, who provided sponsorship to the
historic and record-breaking Tennessee State University women’s track club, the Tigerbelles. This was a
collaboration involving a number of people outside of 5TM. For more information, reach out to us.
