Friedman’s MFA thesis show was called Glitzianers: a 1000+ sq/ft site specific installation featuring five screen-printed linoleum tile patterns, three architectural ramps, a pile of golden bagels, a pyramid of take-home yarmulkes, and five mirrors featuring a girl on a bicycle with a yarmulke worn like a pillbox hat. Additionally, the entire installation had its own sound track–a mix created in collaboration with DJ Eric Ingala.

Yarmulke Tower , 4′ x 4′ x 4′, mixed media: fabric, plastic, screenprint on paper, tissue paper, wood, paint, audio and speakers, 2011. *Yarmulkes were available as a free keepsake
