‘Between Metaphor and Object: Art of the 90s from the IMMA Collection‘,

which had a few nice works. Below:

Ann Hamilton, ‘Filament’ (1996)

A fast spinning curtain that the visitor could enter. It made the whole room smell stuffy.

And looked like this from the inside. Dizzying sensation.

Anonymous gift to the museum.

‘Hospital’, a site-specific installation by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.

This was a weird moment to walk into…

The work they were viewing.

Sam Durant, ‘Bordeaux statue of liberty’, from the series ‘Defaced monuments’, an ongoing collection of statues, sculptures, memorials, markers and monuments that have been intentionally or unintentionally altered, damaged or destroyed as a political statement or during a political protest.

There are four replicas of the Statue of Liberty (given to the U.S. by the French in 1886) in France. This one, an 8 ft., bronze statue, was erected in 2000 in Bordeaux. The original replica had been erected in 1887 but was dismantled and melted for scrap metal by Nazis in WWII. A plaque honoring the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks was added to the second statue later. On the night of March 25, 2003, in what is believed to be an anti-war or perhaps anti-American statement, red paint was poured on the statue. It was lit with gasoline and the face was blackened by fire. The plaque commemorating the victims of September 11th was also cracked.

‘In almost every picture 5′ collected by Erik Kessels and Marion Blomeyer.

The fifth edition of in almost every picture is a series made by the owners of a special and photogenic Dalmatian dog. The beauty of the Dalmatian, its physique and coloring and disposition, make her outstanding.

Also check out the website of kesselskramer.com (and refresh the page a few times!).

Over the dog’s lifetime, her owners were fascinated with how well she looked in photographs even experimenting with different styles and film stock. We see her in many locations as the central subject in almost every picture and we look for her over and over again even when other people or dogs enter the frame. We watch as a beloved member of the family grows up and accompanies her owners in their life’s journey.
