MOMO and Eltono

Improbables, 2012

Two artists install bits of found wood with a hand saw and rubber mallet, into 52 cellar door and window spaces particular to Besançon, France. Using only tension to hold these in place, they demonstrate a variety of arrangement possibilities across a range of spaces in the city. The results may go unnoticed (as artwork) until enough are recognized and associated as such.

We were inspired largely by the types of urban modifications, barriers, and repairs on buildings that demonstrate odd solutions, curious physics, or appear to be total mysteries. So we titled this “Improbables.”

Here is a video about a residency he did in Monterrey at El Narval.

Trolling#1 
chrome plated steel miniature shopping trolleys
approx 73cm (high) x 87cm (wide) x 23cm (deep)

Trolling#1 is the first sculpture to be exhibited in a series exploring consumerism and its resulting social issues. By creating an infinite shape through the repetition of a shopping trolley, I hope to reference the instability of our culture in the dogged pursuit of more - “When too much is never enough.” This is the premise that is driving the other sculptures in a series on affluence
