Gabriel Kuri untitled (continuous dotted line 1), 2022
Cigarette butts, coins on felt and mdf slotted board in Plexiglas and aluminum vitrine
97,5 x 92,2 x 5 cm
Gabriel Kuri's sculpture consists of a slotted felt message board typically found in public institutions or corporate lobbies to direct visitors. A variety of items have been placed in the vertical slots. Among these are objects that are recurring motifs in the artist's formal vocabulary: cigarette butts, coins and shells. As signs of expenditure of currency, time or resources, the individual items become symbols within a language of references to larger social issues.
