Out Of Focus Windows, 2013

Installation, adhesive

An adhesive foil on the window blurs the onlookers’ view of the outside world, but also obscures the view inside from the outside. The conditions of viewing are changed, becoming an integral part of the experience of one’s being in the space.

Quasi Objects: My Room is a Fish Bowl, AC/DC Snakes, Happy Ending, Il Tempo del Postino, Opalescent acrylic glass podium, Disklavier Piano, 2014 (detail; back)

Each element refers to an important early exhibition in which one of the quasi-objects was included. Together they can be understood as a network of quasi-objects and as a self-reflective genealogy of the artist’s exhibition practice since the mid 1990s.
