Les Joynes and Tom Bogaert "Form Laboratory"
chashama Window Space (266 W 37th St. )
This event has ended.
We live in a sea of detritus – orphaned objects are all around us and each has a discoverable narrative. Objects cast off onto the street (trash, recyclables, litter) produce orphans of form. Their reading collapses and they become either invisible or part of the ambient formic noise of the street.
In this series of one and two day projects, Joynes and Bogaert collect objects based on an agreed “daily menu” (made of a certain material, color, form) and then reprocess them at the 266 W 37th Street venue, rediscovering or reinventing the narratives of these cast-off objects.
This project was conceived by Joynes in 2007 and is inspired by Claes Oldenburg’s object collecting in his Ray Gun Mfg. Co. originally exhibited in New York in 1962.
