A length of manila rope stretches over an horizontal distance, anchored to the floor at each end, creating a line that floats just above the ground. It occupies the space as both a real and conceptual tension.
Vertical strips of clear adhesive tape cover a 16 meters wall, so that it glistens slightly. The gesture toys with the architecture, choreographing the viewer’s experience while bringing the outside in.
A bouquet of nails, their shimmering heads wrapped in ribbons. The nails forget their predetermined intent, as the distinction between function and decoration comes undone.
A liquid poured into a glass, captured as it splashes onto the transparent surface. A still life based on a series of contact sheets photos from a book, its source material and formal qualities treated with an elusive seeming detachment.
The exhibition brings together works by Bill Bollinger, Lorenza Longhi and Alan Michael. Together, they question how form, function, and surface operate within broader economies of aesthetic production and consumption.
We would like to thank the artists and the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz for their support of the show.
