Boxes, 2008: Artwork exhibited in the exhibition 'BigMinis' at the Musee d'art contemporain de Bordeaux

Boxes (2008) is part of a series of artworks began in 2008 which use cardboard reclaimed from the back of ordinary A4 writing pads. Boxes is part of a group of work which utilize a diminutive scale. 5 other of artworks from this series were formed my visual column for the international art publication ArtReview. My visual column was published between December 2008-June 2009.
Boxes (2008) was included in the exhibition BigMinis at CAPC Bordeaux in November 2010-February 2011. The exhibition was curated by CAPC chief curator Alexis Vaillant and investigated the diminutive scale within contemporary art production and sought links between this and the wider global economic downturn. The exhibition was a survey of the small gesture and included historical figures like Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Broodthaers, alongside contemporary artists like Martin Creed, Mauritzio Cattelan, Paula Pivi. The exhibition was accompanied by a catalogue published by Sternberg press.
