Mierle Laderman Ukeles MANIFESTO FOR MAINTENANCE ART, 1969!

I'm sure you were into this way before I knew about it but also super relevant. Doesn't have a whole lot to with objects in the way that I'm really interested by but impossible not to include from a curatorial perspective, institutional critique, performance, situation and intervention.

Can't find the exact work but its in this book Specific Objects without Specific Form as part of a Danh Vo curated Gonzalez-Torres show. A work with lights like these was installed at the main gallery technician's house which was miles away from the gallery. It was included as part of the show and the address was I think given at the show if people wanted to go and see it. Really interesting intervention I thought you'd be interested in. Its similar to something I thought we would both be interested in which is directly referencing (within works of art) the labour which is present and its importance.

I think its even interesting too when you come to works which highlight that. In doing so downgrading the labour involved in others parts of a works production. For example (and its not a criticism) who made the lights ? Who sold them? Who installed them?

This work makes me think of that Nayland Blake on Bueys lecture that I think I recommend & also Philip Lai's work at the Showroom gallery. I'll link both.

This is brilliant ! Just read this whole  wikipedia on this before I realised https://www.markmanders.com/wikipedia-skiapode

this kind of upending & fabrication of the object's availability & its existence ...  this is slightly more toward a sense of  the phenomenon with the skiapode rather than  directly the object. But it seems like the upending of the object is there in Mark Manders

The term Skiapode (also spelled Sciapode, Skiapod or Sciapod) derives from the Greek compound skia-podes (σκιάποδες), literally meaning "shadow-foot". Throughout history Skiapodes have appeared and again disappeared in numerous cultures and folklore traditions. They are commonly described or depicted as figures with a single obnoxious large foot, who are in the habit, as Pliny the Elder remarks, "of lying on their backs, during the time of extreme heat, and who protect themselves from the sun by the shade of their feet".

Over the last century, much attention has been given to the topic within psychoanalysis and cognitive sciences. The philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett for example has argued that Skiapodes must be the subject of a dreamlike 'failed myth'. In his acclaimed lectureDangerous Memesopen_in_new , Dennett refers to Skiapodes in relation to the Cartesian theater , and points out that "most Skiapodes hold their leg as a strange uncanny object, a thing that seems not entirely part of their body and therefore their mind."

In one of his published cases, neuroscienist Oliver Sacks recounts the story of a patient who was so convinced one of his legs did no longer belong to him, he asked Sacks, full of disbelief and in panic: "How could this leg that is growing and getting taller by the minute possibly be mine?!" In her correspondence with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Austrian artist Maria Lassnig (1919-2014) explains how this particular story gave rise to her famous series 'Körperbewusstsein Bilder'. Her 1998 painting Selbst mit einem Fremdbein shows a Skiapode-like figure who feels totally estranged from her own leg ("von seinem eigenen Bein entfremdet").

The building is permanently under construction and at the same time always complete in the state it is in at the moment.

The artist’s work straddles the border between truth and fiction.

The myth is further elaborated on a Wikipedia page that was written by the artist and which can be accessed via a QR code. The far-reaching meticulousness of the connections that the skiapode myth is said to have in history also raises the question of whether this mythical creature really existed.

"White-cube museums can so easily sterilize or neutralize a truly wild artist, but this show, in all its pleasant oddness and disarray, escapes that fate.. And for anyone too confused by the bric-a-brac aesthetic, there’s a stand-alone room offering something completely different: A series of empathetic and eclectic portraits that the artist made of the late Amy Winehouse."

"It’s sometimes tough to tell if a work is profound or totally inane; most rest, queasily, somewhere in the middle. If there’s magic here, it’s alchemical, a process in which a few ordinary things start chattering with each other" - Writing by Scott Indrisek (https://garage.vice.com/en_us/article/mbmwxb/put-a-wig-on-it)
