Pallas Contemporary Projects, Dublin, IE
Realized
in PCP as part of 'Automatic'
curated by Gavin Murphy and Chris Fite-Wassilak
This
Conditioner leads from the main gallery space into every corner of the
office area of Pallas Contemporary Projects. The plump hanging shaft
is sometimes blocking the viewer from passing through the room of this
former dairy farm. The ventilation shaft spreads a synthetic grass scent,
which is converted from the air out of the gallery's main space.

Carcass
Divided, 2009
foamboard, blue film
Each 157x220 cm (window)
De Kijkkasten, Amsterdam
The specific outward aspect of De Kijkkasten motivated my idea to make
a sculpture fit the 7 (given) spaces. To achieve this goal I cut an
existing sculpture into pieces. I am interested in how the display windows
function and change the way the audience approaches an artwork. Closed
display windows are often associated with, and emphasize scientific
or aesthetic purposes. The original aspect of a pure constructed model
has changed to a perishable one. In this case destruction even accentuates
construction.

Until
Askeaton has streetview, 2009
Print on wallpaper, wood
290x800 cm
Realized
in Askeaton as part of 'Welcome to the neighbourhood' 2009, curated
by Michele Horrigan
| Askeaton,
Co. Limerick is one of the oldest towns in Ireland. In the 1840s,
lots of Irish people immigrated to the US. A few people from Askeaton
set up a new town in Wisconsin which they also named Askeaton.
If you look for Askeaton on Google maps you’ll find a streetview
of Askeaton, Wisconsin, US. The first building you see is a barn.
The original town of Askeaton in Ireland has not yet been photographed
by Google and doesn’t have streetview yet.
I’ve constructed a copy of that specific barn in Askeaton
US, and placed this facade or ‘prop’ on the most resembling
location along the main road in Askeaton Ireland. The idea is
that if the Google Photocar will come by (it was recently seen
in Limerick city), this image will be picked up, and the building
will simultaneously exist in both Askeatons. |

Bored
Art, 2008
Lambda print
160x120 cm
Bored Art illustrates an institutional situation, but it is difficult
to tell what is going on. The way the work is leaning against the wall
and the brief abandonment of the piece for me resembles a kind of weariness
that is very common with people confronted with public areas, buildings
or museums, or maybe even art itself.

Peel
IMMA I & II, 2008
Photocopies, tape
16 m each
Peel IMMA started from the idea of peeling off the façade of
the museum from top to bottom in a continuous 360 degree motion (similar
to peeling an apple). Doing so has resulted in a representation of the
building as a long strip of architectural parts and features; strips
of windows, roof tiles, brick work and a door, here and there. This
piece consists of copies of the original architectural drawings. For
scale purposes in theory this idea would result in a strip of 1.6 kilometres.
I have displayed the work hanging on a hook like a rope or a strip of
film.

Conditioner,
2007
tubes, plastics, ventilators, antiseptic air
0,5x0,5x20 m
MOOT Gallery, Nottingham, UK
The work Conditioner consists of a surgical green ventilation shaft,
which leads through the gallery space. The plump hanging shaft is sometimes
blocking the viewer from passing through this empty former industrial
room. The materials chosen and their positioning reveal a temporary
aspect. The ventilation shaft spreads a repulsive antiseptic air throughout
the gallery. This disinfect air we know to be clean but it doesn’t
feel healthy and the first association upon entering the space is with
illness. Conditioner stimulates suspicion. What happened here? Is it
save here? Or, am I truly save here?

Carcass,
2006
foamboard, carpet
98x130x290 cm.
Carcass is the skeleton of my car build from foamboard.
The fragile white material refers to architectural models and at the
same time represents the metal parts that would remain of the car
after burning. To indicate carcass as a model it is placed on a Persian
carpet. With the car being 83% of its actual size, this is however
hardly recognizable as a model. Its appearance reflects a balance
between construction and deconstruction.

Twelve
Entrances to a Mosque, 2005
projected video still on polystyrene foam, plaster
80x106x200 cm.
The balcony is made out of polystyrene foam, making the platform impossible
to ever function in real life. It’s covered with plaster, giving
it a solid appearance. I shaped the balcony in this piece according
to Romeo and Juliet’s balcony in Verona. This is to me the absolute
cliché of a balcony. It is not about Romeo and Juliet, but rather
stands as a symbol of power and wealth. You might even see it as a place
where dictators stand shouting. Onto the balcony I projected a still
image of a (modern) balconied block of apartments, providing the balcony
with a layer of friction: between the old and new (architecture), between
object and representation.
