Exhibition Dates: February 6, 2018 - March 31, 2018
In a Constant State of Flux replicates the non-traditional ‘art objects’ often found in exhibition spaces. Items such as extension cords, a power bar, and electrical faceplates are realistically rendered using traditional fine art materials including alabaster and African wonderstone. Playing with elements of display, illusion, time, and labour, In a Constant State of Flux foregrounds mundane objects and occurrences, so that their function, worth, and political utility within the context of the display of art may be called into question.
