Mike Nelson selects from the V-A-C Collection
This consisted of
a large platform on the floor with an interesting collection of sculptures
arranged on it. There was a nice Giacometti woman in the middle, a William de
Kooning torso sitting on the edge and a Marino Maroni head and shoulders. The
way the items were displayed made you look at them in relation to cone another
and objects in their own right. Putting them all on one level seemed to make
who the artist was less important and the work speak for itself.
I loved the
largest work “Camp Fire” by Althamer Ognisko which consisted of four pieces two
of which were a sort of broken vehicle of some sort but the other two were
wonderful life sized figures with realistic faces but almost skeletal bodies
covered in badges, They had an odd mummy like feeling and yet I found them
strangely endearing.
