Jose Krapp: SUBSTATION EXHIBITION DATES: September 17th-December 8th, 2011 OPENING: September 17, 2011 CLOSING: December 8th, 2011 PERFORMANCE: October 7th, 2011 HOURS: all events 7-9pm and by appointment
9 arches is pleased to present Jose Krapp as our inaugural exhibition. “Substation” is an immersive subterranean installation that focuses on current interests in secrecy, security and escape. Krapp looks at what happens when these familiar desires are misplaced: what structures are made, what objects emerge? Using cast off materials, Krapp has built an environment that is part childhood fort and part survivalist bunker, conflating whimsical play with paranoid terror. Through a trap door, viewers are asked to descend into the “Substation,” an architecture that houses various prompts that are in opposition with one another. While one room appears to be a meeting place for the beginning of a revolution, an adjacent space presents the opportunity for mischief. These rooms contain every emergency item and vice needed to fight, retreat, or hide: Molotov cocktails, fire extinguishers, blankets, etc. http://9arches.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
