Sculpture By The Sea

Exoskeleton Pod is a steel plate construction, which creates a minimum architecture for one or two bodies. It speculates about habitation within a public zone or park. As such it is site specific to public space in general, rather than Bondi in particular. Hence the relocation of the work to another public space, such as Campbelltown Gallery, is not a problem. At Bondi it turned its back on the water in order to protect its opening from the elements.

The work is not a literal attempt to create architecture but more a body/building, which occupies itself. It forms a prosthesis, which questions the insect-like quality of the human condition and interrogates architecture.

It occupies a zone between sculpture and architecture, between architecture and furniture and between architecture and the body.

 

Documenta Kassel, Germany, 1997

Exoskeleton Car works between the gallery projects of exoskeleton and architecturally scaled projects of parasite. Not only does it speculate about public and private ownership vis-a-vis the car/art objects, but also creates architectural porosity via an open window.
