Reece Terris - American Standard (2004)
Artist’s statement:
“American Standard draws upon the ‘readymade’ and confronts its art-historical underpinnings (recalling Marcel Duchamp’s iconic Fountain), while imparting more than pure reference, as it extends beyond the object-oriented readymade into an architectural space. Rather than demonstrating how context produces meaning within objects, American Standard presents an environment in which objects re-contextualize their space, revealing architecture’s dependence on standardized form and socially assumed function within even the most private of public spaces.”
Why? - Early Whitney
you’re so sensitive,
you can feel a single hair curl while you’re sleepin’
and each fraction of a millimeter fingernail’s growth
you show half a heart when you play yuker
and i face the punching bag, and do what i’m told
but you stoop so low
to write a word in white pastel on a skull shaped gauge
you say: “i’m not myself without my challenger commemorative button
on the chest of my brown down vest.”
you say: “coffee’s turned my dark days into woody allen *long sigh* anxiety.”
you say: “hide in denver, and i remember montreal. i swear i’ll write soon.”
don’t encourage the wind
the candles will retire
the cumulative weight
of all my chain letter curses
something about this
is clowns with knives.
an ambulance siren
searching for an injured person.
that ain’t no god
it’s just a hedge on fire
