Cabinets #7 : Martin WESTWOOD : OBJECT NOT FOUND

13 Oct-8 Nov 2009

Overview

Within his installations, Martin Westwood addresses the world of commerce and it’s mass-products. The habitual working place appears as a platform for investigation into artificial codes and their impact on individuals. Materials that he uses are often deprived of their accustomed environment such as newsprints, photocopies and map pins. Taken directly from a corporate setting they become a driving-force in re-defining their origins, where single elements merge and subvert one another in constant transformation. Systems that he explores are taken apart, recycled and suspended in states of inertia, leaving only a quiet, powerless echo behind.
