Prefiche (2009) Performance, duration approx. 20 min. Table, onions, chopping boards. Guest Room at Collective Gallery (Edinburgh, UK) as part of Love-in. |
After gathering the audience in a small room with no windows the performers chop onions copiously and fast aiming for the audience to cry
 |
Gulp (2008) site specific intervention, acrylic black stripe on walls, different dimensions |
The quality of the space itself, being a very small, low ceiling room had all the qualities to facilitate the intervention.
The idea is to turn a real space into a drawing or an Auto CAD version of a space, creating a simulacrum of the room.
The sometimes subtle hand made quality of the lines (due to the imperfection of the plasterwork) concur to give to the space a cartoon like quality, almost a humorous edge, inviting the audience to question the authenticity of the surrounding environment

Hi-Fi (2009) hand-made replica of an IKEA Benno Tower CD rack.White Formica, chipboard and fabricator pencil's marks, 20 cm x 20 cm x 200 cm approx.Photo by Stephen Macgarry |
Hi-Fi also, when presented as a free standing object in a white-cube-type-gallery space, becomes an art object and falls into new system of values not only because of the hand-craft involved in its fabrication but also because its shift in function.
Hi-Fi reflects on the supposed differences between work of art and other consumers goods.
The size, the scale and the formal aspect of Hi-Fi also mimic an approximate notion of Minimalism.
This work operates as a caricature, exploring the concept of simulacra.
