A sculpture built in an attic; too big to be removed. Reminescent of a female figure, perhaps. Rendered in red chalk on paper.
Isn't it true that some of the most affecting work is also the most cheesy? Akin to one's love of bad music, dreck and kitsch. Why? Because human emotion is cheap and young artists cannot distinguish between the real and the imaginary--or perhaps more to the point the distinction between the real and the imaginary is less significant than we'd like to believe.
In the Rennaissance an Italian master created a double portrait of a wealthy young woman and her equally young husband. In this image, the groom looks into a window on his bride who is perfectly contained in a stone box no bigger than her head.
Rue des Martyrs. And in this instance, the martyrs are the underground who fought against the German occupation...or in this instance this is a walk-up apartment with a brown door pull placed in the exact center of the door. A building with wall-mounted sinks in the stairway.
In an imaginary room with an arched ceiling, in an imaginary museum, there is a sculpture that reminds us of Fontana Trevi with rusticated stonework and an abreviated feminine figure.
Some of the most common items of the American household are also the most bizzare. In this instance we take a moment to observe the refridgerator--animated perhaps by forces greater than itself.
