Mobile Exhibition
23’ summer edition


The gallery space is not all encompassing of what an exhibition can be. An OSB plywood painted on the edges can become just as much a gallery space🔨, roomy with space for 8 artworks 🖼️. The 2023 summer edition of the Mobile Exhibition includes three artworks about “orienting in space”, moved around and looked at in public space and social settings.



Artworks:

Shaved Words
The letters s,h,a,v,e,d, w,o,r,d,s were sticking out of the wall. Excess was removed in order to even out the wall. The result is a cross section through words.

spatial relations : coloana infinitului (column of infinity)

On the dot ⏰⚪️
Clock made by tracing the shadow of a speck of dirt stuck on the window •
While the paper was kept in the same position as when drawn, it accurately told the time for 4 weeks, because the shadow of the speck returned to the same positions.⚫️🕣
