Blade in Gum by Eddie Clemens
10 - 30
September
Originally installed in Christchurch in 2000 by the
Oblique Trust, The Kiosk comes under the wing of The Physics Room in
2003. With 24 hour, 7 day a week access, The Kiosk is the hardest working
gallery around, providing a venue for contemporary art in the public
realm.
Former resident of Christchurch, Eddie Clemens is currently
completing an MFA in sculpture at Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland.
Often working with mass-produced items and custom-designed manufacturing,
Clemens installations have used everyday items with the finish
and presentation of consumer goods and packaging items reconfigured into
large-scale works. For The Kiosk Clemens has created a simple but sinister
piece, referencing a common urban myth that has long kept children terrified
of hydroslides.
