Paul Kunihølm Pauper Art Installation South Lake Union 987 Mercer Street, Seattle WA 98109
Paul Kuniholm Pauper exhibits Site/Specific Installation presented by Storefronts Seattle, a Shunpike project. The artwork is sited at 987 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA 98109.
Fiber artist Paul Kunihølm Pauper uses intervention, butoh movement and what The London Daily Mail described as a "bizarre cardboard car" to narrate a story about the absurdity of modern life, and tragic historic events. Join the artist as he creates a site-specific installation made possible by funding from Storefronts Seattle, a Shunpike project.
Titled "Time-Based Artwork, Gift 1, Materially Fiber Art (TBAG/MFA)" , the artwork is essentially a fiber art sculpture that serves as an exhibition system for a separate fiber artwork on video.
TBAG/MFA distills parameters drawn by architecture, fiber arts, sculpture and time-based artworks down to essential elements, then puts them back together in a way that suggests organic accumulation, like a beaver dam or spider web.
Narratively, TBAG/MFA discusses time and community using fiber arts materials such as vellum over aircraft-grade spruce to suggest high-rise hardscapes. Quotidian cardboard stands in for a luxury motorcar, symbol of contemporary abundance. Wicker and vellum relate to codes of dress/identity.
TBAG/MFA invites comparisons to the work of Kim Jones and David Hammons.
Maximum viewer impact can be achieved by visiting the artwork when the video element is activated each day of the exhibition, beginning about 516pm and displaying for about an hour.
