'Who's There?'

2017, Dimensions: Variable (c. 50 x 700 x 700 cm)
Materials: Clay, hand-printed fabric, yoga blocks

A group of seemingly inert objects and materials are carefully laid out in a large open space. They temporarily make use of a multifunctional social area that is otherwise used quite differently by various bodies. The body of loose parts developed for Beyond Orientation considers the conflation of work and leisure, presents sculpture as a social space of exchange and encounter, and introduces a group of subject-objects as clandestine inhabitants of the exhibition space.

Clearing Mist

Board 4, 2016-2017

Next to the installation of Ben Cain a 1:1 mock-up of Board 4 – made of paper and covered by printed oak patterns – is placed by Rink. In dissoluting and dissolving, the model starts to lift to the ceiling, anchored just by the plastic pot filled with concrete, that was already in use in Zenpukuji Park in Tokyo. The title, taken from one the original names of the Eight Views, relates to the etheric aggregate of the sculpture in relation to the Yoga quote in Cain's artwork.
