Hello everyone just to announce the amazing innovative art piece of 1,095: One Year’s Worth of Other People’s Plates
11am, 2nd June 2012 College GreenAn exiting project by US artist Bari Ziperstein is coming to Bristol as part of the 2012 Bristol
Biennial. Ziperstein’s work explores America’s perverse love of excess and desire to hoard
and collect through creative sculptural representation.
A combination of sculptural installation and “swap meet” 1,095 will unfold at the intersection of
site-specific installation and community participation. Plates donated by varied and culturally
diverse members of the Bristol public become the raw materials for a contemplative sculpture.
The ordinariness of everyday meals transfigure into stupa-like stacks in the manner of a
mandala.
The plates are a collection of ordinary and kitsch, telling the stories of Bristol’s residents, each
affixed on the back with a commemorative sticker. As with Buddhist sand mandalas, which
are swept aside, so is 1,095 dismantled by the community who donate the original materials.
Plates collected from the Bristol community will be redistributed back to donors in the amount
of their original donation on the 2nd of June at College Green, Bristol. Ziperstein’s sculpture-influx
provides a point of convergence where ordinary objects are temporarily transformed
before returning to their everyday status. Though a fleeting sculpture, the project lives on in
the homes of those who participated.
