BILLS WIN!, 2026
Powder-coated RigidizedÂź aluminum
BILLS WIN! represents every regular-season victory by the Buffalo Bills football team from 1960 through 2025. Comprised of 498 brilliantly colored football-shaped forms adorning 66Â suspended strands marking each year, this installation commemorates every regular-season victory in franchise history from 1960 through 2025. Some strands represent seasons that stretch long with success and create a dense and exuberant visual presence, while leaner years reveal periods of struggle and rebuilding. Each individual form is rendered in the colors of the opposing team and hangs in chronological sequence, transforming decades of competition into a suspended archive of memory, rivalry, heartbreak and triumph. Taken together, BILLS WIN! becomes a vibrant portrait of perseverance, loyalty, heartbreak, and triumph: a spectacular visualization of where we have been as players, coaches, and fans, and how far we have all come together.
