Somewhere Between Art and Life

By Rachel Spence (taken from Financial Times)

posted: 08-21-09

There are times at Venice when you feel Marcel Duchamp

has a lot to answer for. The artist's infamous urinal not

only paved the way for the grand, imaginative gestures of,

say, Robert Rauschenberg - whose scrap-iron sculptures

are at the Peggy Guggenheim museum - but also for a

slew of self-indulgent installation art much of which is

currently taking up exhibition space in the city of Titian

and Tintoretto. The Scottish and Mexican pavilions prove

that Duchamp's legacy has not been wasted. In palaces

either side of the square of Santa Maria Formosa, Martin

Boyce and Teresa Margolles have produced visionary

subversions of the found-object genre. Although

concerned with radically different landscapes, the pair are

fl

neurs , adept at revealing the back stories of their own

territories. Both conjure art out of matter that often slips

beneath our radar - the clandestine, uncanny spirits that

discreetly animate our everyday world. Boyce, a

42-year-old sculptor based in Glasgow, opens his show

with a path of stepping stones whose jagged course is

mapped by dulled-gold, edge-crisped replicas of fallen

autumn leaves. Above hangs a sculpture of plastic, interlocking, polygonal panels. These oblique, sail-like

shapes have been the leitmotif of Boyce's work since he saw them in a photograph of a pair of "concrete

trees" made by the French Cubist sculptors Jo

l and Jan Martel for the 1925 Decorative Arts Exhibition in

Paris. The Martels' work nourished Boyce's appetite for modernism. Since the mid-1990s, he had been

making sculptures that played on design icons such as Arne Jacobsen's Ant chair and the Eames brothers'

ESU storage unit. But the concrete trees' "perfect collapse of architecture and nature" nudged his work

beyond the urban interior.

Is This Recyclable?

Is This Recyclable?

An upcoming

exhibition at Under

Minerva, Brooklyn.

This group show

focuses on thirteen

artists who break

away from traditional

media and instead

explore materials that

are often overlooked

yet readily available.

By using readymade

and recyclable

materials the artists

are both directly

appropriating from the

materials purpose and

properties, literally

recycling these pieces

in the process.

The theme is

motivated by early

readymades of
