Shelf at Song Song gallery. Vienna Artweek 2010. Vienna

–

Photographer MARINA FAUST, who has been working in Paris and Vienna for a long time, in the past closely collaborated with MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA, now presents the exhibition Shelf at SONG in Vienna until 20th November, 2010.

Shelf uses the space of art work as the platform for a question of what a before-art or after-art work is, of what an art work becomes if it is in no position to be looked at. Through storage device, she examines a moment in the object’s life that is not its “art” moment, that is some place perhaps just before or after art. They rather become objects in-between.
