Kelly Akashi and Sean Raspet @ Chateau Shatto
If transparency is more a function of phenomena, then ineffectual candles and 4mm plastic as wall (glass?) remind us that this is more metaphor than actual concern. That structure is revealed is straightforward enough. What it adds up to is quite another. Valves (permanently closed off) attenuate key points of the framework.
Chandeliers and fallen wax on fallen pillows, soft landings for extinguished dreams (past/present/future locations of deep thought). One in which the spatial contingencies integrate and combine rather than simply adorn or become extraneous distraction.
Bees.
Suspense.
Continuity.
Filtration. Air. Olfactory. Curve to straight. Back to front. Coil. Single redirect. Duct. Reflexive, recycled (Modernist). Reflective.
The relation between in/out is like the twisting/turning of a knob, activated by a willing participant not unlike an act of a god setting wheels in motion. Smell and memory. Head and tail. Ourobouros. Smithson polyp. A slight return.
