“Neither fully functional nor obviously decorative, these objects are “misplaced props,” that become “quasi-monumental” in a gallery setting. Like the tie-dye target paintings, Phelan’s flag sculptures question how cultural traditions, once unhinged from their original contexts, can be reconstituted, redistributed, and seamlessly re-absorbed into the American consumer landscape.”

“ In the Brazil theory of consciousness, our conscious mind is Jonathan Pryce waiting for a communiqué from our unconscious through that pneumatic tube (thwump!). Our unconscious is thought to be a roiling mass of busy workers. These unconscious workers are constantly solving problems for us and sometimes sending us answers through our own pneumatic tube (thwump!) and we can send our new questions back to our unconscious in the same way (thwump!).

“This project brings together a series of three objects: a prop from a star wars film recreated in
plaster; a Victorian table leg, turned by mis-using a VW Polo as a lathe, and a section of a BOEING
747: As sculptures placed on the plinth, they evoke the art of the 1980’s or of early 20th century
modernism, but do so only as the by-products of a convoluted practice of research and making.”

Creating an effect of reflected light with six mirrors forming a hexagonal tube, this work by Olafur Eliasson is based on the principles of a kaleidoscope. Etymologically, the word “kaleidoscope” is formed from the Greek words kalos (beautiful), eidos (form) and scopos (watcher): “watcher of beautiful shapes,” which the artist has reinterpreted as the work’s title, Viewing machine. The visitor is invited to maneuver the machine toward a point of interest inside or outside the gallery space. Through superimposed reflections, a myriad of forms is exposed.
