EXHIBITIONS / WHAT A PIECE OF WORK

10.09.2009 to 03.10.2009

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from a collection of poems by Australian poet Dorothy Porter. The work uses the format of medicine packages to fabricate modern sculptures while deleting the written information and retaining the design. The installation of small and life size sculptures, which function as readymade plinthlike constructions, is a subtle flip side to Constructivist art in its reclaiming of the capitalist design to its formalist origins.
