Quand LEGO rencontre IKEA par Claire Healy et Sean Cordeiro

Claire Healy et Sean Cordeiro, exposent du côté de Sydney le fruit de leur dernière collaboration, véritable rencontre animale entre LEGO et IKEA.

“venereal architecture’ investigates the typologies of inhabitable spaces and how humans are constantly adapting and manipulating the built world in order to cope with the elements that share our environment. prompted by a nomadic lifestyle of travel, packing and unpacking, accumulation, storage and freight, the two artists have interpreted these experiences into their practice overall, as well as within the exhibition. ‘we build structures that enclose and protect us from nature. air conditioning controls the temperature and we domesticate animals so they can live with us.‘ healy and cordeiro describe ‘our control over nature (or lack there of) is central to this body of work.“

Une réflexion sur le monde nous entourant et notre volonté de le contrôler, ces deux marques symboles des notions de construction et déconstruction, mobilité ou fonctionnalité viennent ici s’annuler en se rencontrant.

“the works represent our sublimated animal urges expressed through shopping. we believe that the combination of ikea and sex is palpable. visiting an ikea showroom is a serious group-nesting experience: like giant bower birds, we carry around our blue object bag in the vague hope of getting laid if we curate the right combination of objects into our love-nests. the consumer experience must be the result of some natural urge gone slightly wrong“

Leur expérience semble aller un peu loin une nouvelle fois, mais ils ouvrent la porte à une réflexion sur nos actes d’achats, sur leurs symboles et nécessité. De véritable animaux que nous sommes, sont directement matérialisés venant enrober, digérer, le mobilier fraichement acheté !
