Replika Volumes - Issue II - Ellipse €1,000.00
20x26x9cm
Edition of 10
2017
Replika Editions are a three dimensional exhibition in a box in which, artists, writers, musicians and creators of all descriptions are invited to explore a given theme, and to respond with an object-based, serialised work. As each piece is replicated manually, each of the 10 boxes vary slightly and are a unique collectable. The box is accompanied by a book, in which each work is photographed and itemised along with an accompanying text from the artist, alongside other text-based submissions and contributions from the curators.
Issue II: Ellipse.
As in a game of telephone, Ellipse is about passing information through a fragmented loop resulting in the loss of structure, grammar and sense altogether. Human relationships, in particular familial and marital, are explored through folding and rusting forms, the longing for connection with nature and urban spaces and the search for an art practice equivalent to a close friend’s embrace. Ellipse explores the notion of a cyclical history of a precious material becoming commonplace, The female form retraced until almost all trace is lost and Mechanical attempts to counterfeit imagination.
Replika II: Ellipse is held in many public and private collections including Reminders Photography Stronghold, Tokyo and the MoMA Art Book Collection, New York
