work hard and be nice to people: 수염난 문 Bearded Door, 2008

Medium: Wood, acrylic on canvas, brass

Dimensions: 238 x 110 x 4cm

This work made of the assemblage of tacky paintings of Beard. The work was inspired by youngster´s locker door, which is often decorated with images of horses and suchlike. Analytically written we as so often in our work assembled subjects on one level and themes on a methodological level in parallel. This is a perfect example of our application of Frankensteining methods, roughly written: in this case transplanting things weakly described by useless genres terms: object art (engl.), objet-trouvé, and painting, into an interdependent group.
