SIMONA BRINKMANN

24 May-21 Jun 2014

Overview

the Agency is pleased to present new sculptures by Simona Brinkmann in Gallery 1. Simona Brinkmann’s sculptures address the fetishisation of objects and shifting demarcations of public and private. Her choice of materials (leather, metal, glass) deconstructs the architectural interior and emphasises partitions and movement control. Her references are wide-ranging: fences scaled up or down, revolutionary barricades, crowd barriers or flood barriers and cattle guards used for animal control in the food industry. She subtly subverts her original sources by hand-making the objects and displacing them from their familiar use environments to the gallery space.
