Sound Garden
The project I propose for Celeste Prize 2016 is a site-specific mixed-media installation consisting of an intersection between; sculpture, sound, print and the architecture of the Celeste Prize exhibition space itself. The installation is concerned with the creation of mental space, specifically the role of sound in this process.
It consists of three main elements: a site-specific sound installation and print series and a number of individual works, that is photographs and sculptures. The sound installation ‘Sound Garden’ is inspired by traditional Japanese rock gardens (Karesansui). The rocks in this case are represented by speakers. The sounds of the speakers in turn represent tradition elements found in gardens, that is: fountains, bridges etc.
‘End Credit’, is a site-specific print series. The prints are concerned with the relationship between mental space and the perception of sound. It consists of a films end credits specifically the sound elements of the film, that is; a list of the film’s staff for example foley artists, sound editors etc. and a list of songs in the film’s sound track. The prints will be printed to the height of the Celeste Prize exhibition space walls.
Marcel Duchamp’s model of ‘readymade’ or ‘found’ art, that is ordinary manufactured objects that an artist has selected and modified inspires the individual works proposed. 2016 is the 100th anniversary of Duchamp’s conceptualisation of ‘readymade’ art.
The first work ‘Lost and Found’, is a photograph of a found sculpture that explores the middle ground between art and life. ‘Fresh’ No. 2 is a three and a half foot tall mirrored Magic Tree car air freshener. Its size has been altered to represent the limitless spatiality one can experience from expressing oneself fully. The original scent ‘New Car Smell’ has been changed to ‘Came Up Smelling Like Roses’. ‘The Definition’ is a household milk carton where levels of the contents have been demarcated. The work brings the mediums of readymade and drawing together. ‘Death is Here’ is a photograph which is the culmination of two photographic series; i) a series exploring the perceptive dynamics in encountering found objects and ii) a series depicting various interpretations of death. The sculpture ‘Both Sides’ No.2 is an assisted readymade consisting of an appropriated scooter modification and speaker stand.
