In Oviedo, Spain, a 6,000-square-meter set up of metallic emergency blankets rework a former arms manufacturing unit this month. “Blankets 2” extends from Spanish artist SpY’s ongoing collection of monumental kinetic works (beforehand).
The pure mild from the constructing’s first-floor home windows and big clerestory bounce off the folds of a whole bunch of blankets, glinting gold on one facet and silver on the opposite. Documented with water on the ground, the reflection mirrors the suspended array, creating a way of depth and additional openness.
The artist facilities the dialogue between location and theme in “Blankets 2” and calls consideration to the constructing’s historical past as a weapon producer by filling it with objects meant conversely for medical remedy and care.
SpY is fascinated by sensory notion and the best way easy objects might be reworked by repetition, mild, scale, and distinction. Air circulation by the area provides delicate movement to the panels, producing a delicate rustling noise that accompanies viewers by the exhibition
