Michael Croft
‘Nervosi’ (2009) by Michael Croft
Croft found above situation at Manse Road, Hackney in 2009. He brought the railing to his studio where he polished it until it shone like a mirror.
Kristoffer Myskja
Kristoffer Myskja, ‘Smoking Machine’ (2007)
Go to his website to see the machine (and many more) in action).
Arthur Ganson
Arthur Ganson, ‘Machine with concrete’ (1992)
Each worm/worm gear pair reduces the speed of the motor by 1/50th. Since there are 12 pairs of gears, the final speed reduction is calculated by (1/50)12. The implications are quite large. With the motor turning around 200 revolutions per minute, it will take well over two trillion years before the final gear makes but one turn.
Ariel Schlesinger @ Galerija Gregor Podnar
Seen last Friday at Gregor Podnar in Berlin; Ariel Schlesinger’s solo show called ‘Reverse engineering’. Although not many works and not all of them as good; a nice show, with quite some energy!
Alex Hubbard @ Whitney Biennial
The other highlight for me was the video ‘Annotated Plans for an Evacuation ‘ (2009) by Alex Hubbard.
In the video, Hubbard continuously alters the look of an old, used Ford Tempo. He does this with styrofoam, plaster and spraypaint in a way that makes it seem like he has a very clear plan for the make-over. However, over the course of the video, the purpose for his alterations becomes increasingly unclear, while their pointlessness becomes ever more clear.
The video, as installed at the Whitney.
