Vandal # 1, 2 and 3

temporary public sculpture

2010

 

Vandal #1, 2 and 3 is an on-going series of sculptures that are being placed in public spaces over a period of 1-2 weeks. Chained to lampposts these objects are both receptacles and provocateurs of aggression and mis-behaviour. The Vandals provide simple versions of public amenities such as urinals and bins. Whilst the objects are made to look solid their deliberately fragile make permits destruction. The wheels allow for the objects to be classified as a vehicle, which allows for them to be parked in public space over a period of time without causing legal offence.

 

The project has been shown at Kunsthalle Duesseldorf and DAZ Berlin.
