작품 제목: 무제(우리 또한 특별하다) (1)피오나 쇼 http://www.busanbiennale.org/sub01/05_fix.php?no=5221amp;cat_no=2002amp;seq=101510amp;type=2amp;year=2008amp;type2=3amp;type3=amp;page=2무제(우리 또한 특별하다)이 작품은 소박한 기원을 찬미하는 기념비적인 조각이다. 바람에 날리는 종이 한 조각에서 영감을 받아 건축 규모로 확대된 그녀의 금속조각은 대담하면서도 뭔가 낭패감이 든다. (크고, 추상적이고, 산업적인) 공공조각물의 모든 수사로부터 끌어낸, 쇼가 비엔날레에 내놓은 조각물은 참신한 호소력을 가지며 매력적이다. 쭈글쭈글한 알루미늄박과 판지로 만들어진 축소모형에서 인상적인 기둥으로 변형된 이것은 아름다움과 일상 경험의 잠재력을 강조하기 위해 모든 장대함의 겉치레를 피한다. 조각, 비를 피하는 곳, 그리고 ‘우리는 또한 특별하다’라는 낱말을 이루는 공원 벤치로 역할하는 쇼의 조각은 약동하는 공동체의 만남의 장소로서, 버려진 유토피아를 재건하는 모더니즘 버전의 유적으로부터 감상적인 서곡을 제공한다. 무중력의 열망으로 땅에서 솟아올라 반사되어 은백색으로 빛나는 lt;무제gt;는 완전하지 않은 모든 이들에 대한 찬사, ‘선량한 이들’을 위한 승리다. amp;copy;파트리샤 엘리스(인디펜던트 아트 라이터, 런던) untitled(We Are Special Too) Fiona Shaw untitled(We Are Special Too)Fiona Shaw? untitled (We Are Special Too) is a monumental sculpture celebrating humble origins. Inspired by a sheet of paper fluttering in the wind, her metal structure, aggrandised to architectural scale, is both heroic and bereft. Drawing from all the tropes of public sculpture (large, abstract, industrial), Shaw? contribution to the Busan Sculpture Project is refreshingly sympathetic and ingratiating. Transformed from a maquette made of crumpled tinfoil and cardboard into an imposing monolith, it shuns all pretence of grandeur to highlight the beauty and potential of everyday experience.Functioning as sculpture, rain shelter, and park bench forming the words ?e Are Special Too? Shaw? piece extends a sentimental overture from the relics of modernist vision, reconstituting utopian derelict asa vibrant community meeting point. Swooping from the ground with weightless aspiration, and shining with its silvery reflection, untitled…is a tribute to everyone who isn? perfect, a triumph for the ?ust alright?Fiona Shaw? work encapsulates human vulnerability with a spastic ballet?like elegance, drawing from the academic rigidity of formalist and conceptual sculpture as a model to describe social exclusion and anxiety. Her works are tragicomic in their contorted gracefulness and wannabe ambition: forcing Joseph Kosuth chairs to balance torturously on sharpened pencils, comically posing Nam June Paik TV sets in parody of suicidal breakdown, re-forming John McCracken cubes to spell out SUCKS. Almost all her pieces incorporate some form of text: a drawing desperately declares I Got a System To Keep Me Alive, and a little wooden carved word with nails driven into it says OUCH. A simpatico paranoia exudes from everything she makes: inferiority complex, embarrassment, frustration, fear, the foundations of modern intimacy, For Shaw words are synonymous with inadequacy and failure. Her second-hand language, with all its disposable meaning and transient usage, is piteously salvaged from the charity bin of popular culture. A bit damaged, dog-earred, and bruised her texts contrive hand-me-down affection, recycled ill-fitting truths. Her plagiarised song lyrics (always of the breaking up variety) and greeting card-like slogans, are rendered in impoverished materials such as gift shop stationary and waning helium filled party balloons, to convey the malaise of the emotionally inept and inarticulate. Shaw? romanticism is fraught with suspicion and neurosis: Feelings, like words, are awkwardly, cripplingly aberrant, empirical systems which are neither rational nor trustworthy. Subjected to obsessive compulsive making processes, Shaw? maudlin scripts humorously transform from hypochondriac syndrome into proud badges of (under)achievement and deficiency, made all the more empathetic through their material abjection. Like abandoned shrines her words occupy an uneasy space in the world, astraumatic, dejected, and obsolete remains of those unspeakable sentiments between us. ⓒPatricia Ellis, 2008 _ Independent Art Writer, London http://www.busanbiennale.org/english/sub01/05_fix.php?no=5483amp;cat_no=20022amp;seq=101510amp;type=2amp;year=2008amp;type2=3amp;type3=amp;page=1자료 출처(Credit): 부산비엔날레 홈페이지 촬영: 오용웅(오발탄 Ovaltan)촬영 일자: 2014년 10월 16일촬영 장소: 부산광역시 해운대구 APEC 나루공원카메라: Nikon D90렌즈: Nikon AF NIKKOR 24mm 1:2.8이미지 조정 gt; 자동레벨 사이즈 3543 X 2353
