Cave, London, 1999, scale model 1:14; Iceberg,
Nylon Gallery, London, 2001, scale model 1:20
(models constructed by Dominik Kremerskothen, 2005)
An artist who has often showed the works of other artists, Macuga has
built several elaborate exhibition infrastructures that hark back to early
visionaries. Cave lined a 1960s gallery/apartment with crumpled packing
paper to display paintings and objects, whilst a paper tepee housing a
collection of Inuit paintings became ice-white Iceberg. Artist as curator as
exhibition set-designer. These models are scaled recreations with works
re-made by Macuga. |
