Keeping Up Appearances
A site specific work for SALON/BJ; during the Beijing Design Week 2013. The ‘site’ was an abandoned police station in the hutong area. Inspired by Chinese bamboo scaffolding and Mikado, we created an installation throughout the halls of the building. It consisted 8 groups of bamboo poles of all different lengths and numbers. The work is kept in place by pressure; the total of 90 bamboos are stuck between opposite walls or between the floors and ceilings. The poles are painted in stripe patterns in the colors blue, red, yellow, green and white.
SALON/ BJ is supported by the City of Amsterdam,
Creative Industries Fund NL, BJDW and SALON/ Foundation
Technique/Medium: Bamboo, paint
Dimensions: 90 bamboo poles, varying lengths divided over 4 different rooms.
