Sequence (chair, table, chair, table, chair), 2014 (back)
Both works: PU paint on metal, wool fabric
Custom-made furniture-stools, chairs, a day-bed, tables and a ladder-are placed in sequences numbering between 3 and 6 elements that appear to articulate concise statements.
Outlet, 2014 (wall, left)
Electrical outlet, vacuumed blue plastic, plexiglas, screws
Blue and yellow electrical outlet covers punctuate the space.
Sink, 2014 (wall, back)
Vacuumed red PVC, metal, PVC pipes, PVC tap
Flavien has introduced objects usually found in domestic settings, turning the exhibition, in the artist’s words, into a house. Upon entering, visitors are faced with a functioning sink that acts to destabilize standard expectations of an exhibition space.
The room, 2014 (wall, left)
Two radios, two wireless switches, vacuumed plastic
An electrical switch at the entrance allows visitors to turns on or off lights, another one, in a less familiar gesture, the power to two radios that have been hung on the wall.
