During her two-week residency, Joanne Masding will attempt to capture the glitz of the festive season, celebrating the overload of shiny surfaces attached to tinsel, baubles and lights.
About
Beginning with an advertisement for a decoration amnesty, Masding will work with the glittery materials donated, exploring and remaking them through video, sculpture and 3D modeling, drawing out the differences between recorded translation in comparison to direct human experience. Masding is interested in the way we consider the worth, ownership and production of physical stuff, and how this translates to an increasingly digital, immaterial and reproducible world. Through this garish and celebratory project, Masding hopes to convey the absurdity of the human practices that take place at the peak of the consumer year, consider the superficiality of decorative surfaces and bring a sense of hectic, party and overload.
The culmination of Joanne Masding’s residency will be on display in the window space from 19 December 2015 to 6 January 2016.
