Work from Palermo1966 (other works also included).
“Palermo1996 explores the allure of the supermarket and removes items directly from the shelves in order to create this contemporary geometric abstraction. As a result of the construction elements, metal and magnets, this work also functions very much as a performance piece, through the building of the work at the start of the exhibition to the potential multiple arrangements that could be achieved for the duration, and ending with the final removal of the boxes. This work combines the everyday, abstraction and a performative process in order to consider the relationship between the world, the body and geometry.” – Jacob Dahlgren
