Press Release by Brian Curtin

*TWIST*

Jedsada Tangtrakulwong

October 16 – November 16, 2011

Curated by Brian Curtin

*H Project Space is very pleased to announce the third installation. Jedsada describes his site-specific practice as “an examination of the parts of a structure that renders that particular space different from others. Each space has its own character. I use the distinctive parts of a space as the starting point for my art”.

For *Twist*, the artist was inspired by the lattice feature that functions as a natural air vent for the room. Further to repeated visits, Jedsada considered its proximity to the ceiling and consequently noticed the typically unnoticed traces of spiders and their webs. Seeing acorrespondence between these forms and the diagonal, diamond shapes of the lattice, he has created complex structures that are integrated with the architecture while seemingly trying to break free. The cool elegance of H Project Space is simultaneously announced and disrupted, as *Twist* shifts between the formalist and metaphorical.

Concept: One of the steel I-beam columns of a parking garage is being transformed into a site-specific installation. This work is inspired by a gradual environment changes of three sites where I've been living and working in Kunming; a studio, a parking garage and an apartment. The studio and parking garage locate in the area where a factory is converted into loft style offices and shops. On a daily basis, I see shops and offices from scratch and slowly build up. At my apartment, I see a growth and development of plants which I water them every morning. The plants gradually change their forms.

Each piece of my works is slightly different in form. To see the evolution of form, the work can be observed either from top to bottom, or bottom to top. The gradual change of forms is more visible when viewers spend time exploring them.
