Dysfunctional Deconstructions
Dysfunctional Deconstructions is an installation as part of Phase 4 of Skaus’ exhibition series taking place at the Rogaland Kunstsenter (RKS). Through several project phases a number of artists and artist collectives were invited to work site-specifically and independently acting on the given structures and artistic conditions that have emerged in the institutions.
For these encounters to happen Skaus built a large-scale wooden modul serving as an inner-frame and occupying space within RKS’ gallery room.
Being the last one of the chain of exhibitions, we proposed an unconventional, suggestions as to how Skaus’ space performs within an outer layer of institutional presence, only to engage us in broader social and political thought constellations around this convergence. We wanted to explore how the space that Skaus had created within, almost hugged by the exhibition hall, is also tied to a complex institutional framework that served as an umbrella for its birth.
Potential reading of the room is that this conceptual act of deconstruction aimed at posing a clear aesthetic gesture. The exhibition of the module’s skeleton in the room literally undressed of its own ceiling, walls, and floor. This is done using tie-downs and fastening tapes as a physical and symbolic aesthetic reinforcement, aiming to show how these two architectural bodies are tied in space. read full text in the catalog.
