Paul Kuniholm commissioned by Storefronts Seattle, A Shunpike Project, South Lake Union, 987 Mercer Street, Seattle WA, 98109. Sculpture temporarily installed with partner Amazon.com March 3-June 5, 2014.
Titled "Time-Based Artwork, Gift 1, Materially Fiber Art(TBAG/MFA)" , the artwork is essentially a fiber art sculpture that serves as an exhibition system for a separate fiber artwork on video.
Sculptor Paul Kunihølm uses intervention, butoh movement and sculptural objects reminiscent of what The London Daily Mail described as a "bizarre cardboard car" or other sculptural objects in fiber. These processes and materials are used to narrate a story about community, time, family of origin, the absurdity of modern life, and tragic historic events. Join the artist as he creates a site-specific installation made possible by funding from Storefronts Seattle, a Shunpike project.
TBAG/MFA distills parameters drawn by architecture, fiber arts, sculpture and time-based artworks down to essential elements, then puts them back together in a way that suggests organic accumulation, like a beaver dam or spider web.
Narratively, TBAG/MFA discusses time and community using fiber arts materials such as vellum over aircraft-grade spruce to create the first use of Shoji screen as a fine art component to suggest high-rise hardscapes. Quotidian cardboard stands in for a luxury motorcar, symbol of contemporary abundance. Wicker and vellum relate to codes of dress/identity.
TBAG/MFA invites comparisons to the work of Kim Jones and David Hammons.
Maximum viewer impact can be achieved by visiting the artwork when the video element is activated each day of the exhibition at approximately sunset. The video element only displays for about one hour each day at sunset.
Intentionally brief, the artist's organizing principle sought to create an esoteric ephemera of the video content of the artwork, in opposition to continuous and invasive media programming of the current period.
