“In A Dream” John Kelsey

Among other things, what the celebrity teaches the sculpture is that sometimes the most effective way to show up is by falling apart, or at least to involve the viewer in this dramatic and aesthetic possibility. There is also the lesson about public and private, the two faces, and how to put in an appearance without totally giving yourself away. But the most captivating celebrities are the ones who keep us fixated on the moment of crisis where these two faces might finally collapse into one. Scandal and damage control are also sculptural possibilities.

An event programmer and an urban planner lurk behind every relational artist, and these practitioners' proposals to re-appropriate common space were always elaborated in a strict and conscious relation to the fact of functionalised, policed space. It was never either/or. It was always brief glimpses of the one within the other.
