Ponder Pause Process
(a Situation)
Yane Calovski (born 1973) is the second artist in the Contemporary
Art Society series at Tate Britain. He has treated the Society’s
invitation to work with and from Tate's Collection and Archive as an
opportunity to start a period of research. This experience has led
him, perhaps inevitably, to question a range of preconceptions and
assumptions that relate to the collection and conservation of art.
Calovski’s installation brings together artworks that rely on an active
audience engagement to fulfil their conceptual promise. These works
anticipate the effect on the viewer, who is invited to experience fresh
ways of acting and thinking. The result of this participation triggers
new narratives around the works.
By adding the sound work A Flock of Rotation by French artist Samon
Takahashi and Calovski’s own multiple U LAY, the installation
becomes more than its individual parts – in fact, a meditation on the
flexibility of ideas, and fluidity of the curatorial and artistic processes
Calovski has invited the group OuUnPo (A workshop for Potential
Universes), to meet on 15 May for a discussion within the context of
his installation. OuUnPo is an itinerant project, whose members meet
only rarely, to explore the concept of time, space and the role of
subjectivity in contemporary art discourse.
This display has been curated by
Yane Calovski, whose artistic practice
is collaborative and context-oriented,
lives and works in Skopje.
On display until 30 August 2010, admission is free.
