Artist Statement “We consume and consume and puke, more than fetishise the objects and information we use. We don’t act inside or outside of consumer culture, entertainment, or art culture, we consume and translate, we’re a byproduct of it.” Ryan Trecartin “The (Grotesque) body swallows the world and is itself swallowed by the world.” Mikhail Bakhtin I believe that art should get lodged in the throat of its audience, to make them think twice about what it is they attempt to consume. There is an idea of Inter-repulsion, a transgressive paradigm which (according to Georges Bataille) outlines the dualities between desire and filth, appropriation and scatology, rejection and consumption. My work concerns itself with the dichotomy between the simulation of pornography and the simulation of a utopian society. The pieces I am proposing in particular attempts to disrupt the symbolic order of meaning; a moment where by rationality ends, providing no philosophical speculation. The sculpture transgresses its own confines, penetrating external boundaries between itself and the world, ceasing to ‘be itself’. The sculpture is made up of purchased domestic objects. Keeping the work materially obvious to provide a lesson in aesthetics, appropriation and scatology...(Scatology in reference to George Batailles essay on ‘The use value of D.A.F de Sade’). ‘’He (de Sade) understood too that our tastes are motivated not by the intrinsic qualities of the object but by the latters relationship with the subject.’’ - Simone De Beauvoir, ‘Must we burn Sade’. ‘’A grotesque world in which only the inappropriate is exaggerated is quantitatively large, but qualitatively it is extremely poor, colourless and far from gay’’ - Makhail Bahktin - ‘Rabelais and his world’. Artists of reference: Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Nick Paparone, Chapman Brothers, Urs Fischer, Ken Kagami, Jeff Koons, Dan Grosby
