ENTERTAINMENT SUITE



Entertainment Suite,
2010-ongoing
Modular sculpture

Entertainment Suite is conceived as a modular sculpture that shifts its form to adapt to each new exhibition space. The documentation here shows the different iterations of the piece since its inception.

The work was initially presented as part of the solo exhibition Entertaining at The Dust Lounge, commissioned by Exeter Phoenix. The show, which also included the pieces Batons 1 - 5, and drawings Cruise Lounge and Fleet Plans 1 - 3, presented a framework for an undefined performance to take place.
