Podium
Podium / Panel / Microphone
a Space/ a Presence / a Reality
Expectations / Speech
The podium operates as a "sculpture"
Nomad - (mountable / unmountable) (showable / unshowable)
Ephemeral
Moveable in the landscape
This work is the representation of a podium.
The object is constructed with elements of painting: stretcher bars, paint, (materials with a direct reference to art in traditional painting).
By virtue of its structure and the materials used, it is impossible to climb over it,the work becomes the scene of an impossible speech.
It is the representation of a "representation" made with the tools of representation.
This work questions:
- The place of art in landscape.
- the Authorized Space
- Realism
- Devices associated with formal representation in space: theatres, podiums, bleachers
- Public Posture
- The Inability of the Show
- The Inability of Speech
