A nice little comment on racist natural history museum displays by Nicholas Galanin.
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.

Ira wrote: ”I just visited the exhibition this afternoon with my younger sister. Very nice & free! You have to take off your shoes if you want to step on Gormley’s huge plateau (weight: 67 tons). When you’re up there the whole room suddenly appears in a different way. The shiny black ground of the plateau reflects everything, especially the building itself, which creates this abstract impression. You can also make that thing swing from one corner to the other when you find more than ten people to help… that’s a nice experience.”
