Artbox, 2000
1 box with 18 modular installations
4,5 ” x 2,6 ” x 2,6 ”
|
It consists of a
rectangular Plexiglas box that holds 18 modular works enclosed in small
Plexiglas boxes of different colors. This work emerged with the intention of
capturing the Zeitgeist or "spirit of the times", driving the creation of a
portable and playable museum based in the most relevant cultural icons of the
year 2000, involving the economy (stock market); cinema (the new Star Wars
movie), religion (the rise of Kabbalah); computer and health (the parallelism
between organic viruses and their cure through technology); national security
(the FBI ‘most wanted fugitives’), etc. Every piece involves a semantic game
between the significant and its meaning; between the object and its description,
located on the top of each translucent box. |
