Maquettes for Municipal Carnival Floats

2009      

Paint, paper, modelling clay, board, wood, silk. Exhibited in Afterwards at the Mead Gallery in Warwick Arts Centre, curated by Sharon Kivland, and in Ils dansent, ils jouent, les gens entrent, at the Maison des arts du grand quevilly, Rouen, curated by Julie Béna.

These models are a reinterpretation of Rêve Municipal (Municipal Dream), a large scale installation constructed in Nantes for the 2007 Estuaire Biennial, which consisted of an arrangement of elements borrowed from the city's stock of objects; chairs, tables, benches, voting booths, bunting, barriers, stage blocks and the many other things needed for the administration and entertainment of of a city. Here, scenes from the installation are imagined as floats for a carnival parading the props of civic life.
