WUNDERKAMMERJAMMER Marcelino Barsi August 5th - August 18th York Corridor Vitrines
Marcelino Barsi will install himself within the York Corridor Vitrines of the FOFA Gallery. His project is to interact with objects of the everyday, from chip bags to coffee lids, and through a process of material manipulation, augmentation, as well as de and re-contextualization, he renders the detritus of consumer culture into art objects and experience. His mode of production intersects the traditions of “found object” and arte povera and produces situations of equal parts humour and poetry. Situated in the liminal space between the FREE | TRADE exhibition and the main corridor of the university, Barsi’s actions and objects are infused by the interior activities of the gallery while equally influencing the potential reception and interpretation of the works within. This cross-pollination acknowledges the affect and effect of spaces public and private and the complexity of architectural codification. His presence within the vitrine asserts the role of the user in the space, in this case, an artist engaged in production.
