§ 3Commentary

Over the years, the Taj Mahal has become an icon of immortal love. This is a work, composed of rows of miniature steel Taj Mahals which function as bricks that create a huge wall – a visual obstruction. Sudarshan Shetty asks us to consider what the making of a cultural icon does to the object that is iconicized. The monumental wall is composed of hundreds of souvenir Taj Mahals. In contrast to the magnificence of the marble mausoleum, the steel models symbolize modernity and mechanization. Simultaneously, the idea of an original is disrupted as the monument turns into a mould to enable mindless re-productions. Since certain expressions of love become generic – endlessly used and abused, manipulated and manufactured – the economization of a universal emotion is clearly implicated in this installation. One recalls the encased models of the Taj Mahal being sold outside the mausoleum complex. These seem to stand as urns that ‘contain’ the majestic structure, continually invoking the visual experience that has lapsed into memory. Shetty converses with the memory-image that has entered public consciousness. The accompanying video shows the Taj melting as though overheated by the expectations placed upon it. This work demonstrates Shetty’s longstanding interest in ‘de-constructing’ the human experience and cultural convention.

For kunstverk eller reproduksjoner som er større enn 105 cm (ca. 41 tommer) på noen side, vil rammen bli sendt som et sett som må monteres. Denne metoden sikrer trygg levering og forhindrer skader under transport.

Krever profesjonell montering – dette er ikke et DIY-produkt.
Settet må monteres og lerretet strammes av en erfaren profesjonell rammelegger, ved bruk av trelim (følger ikke med), en lerretstang og klemmer for å holde rammelisten vinkelrett mens limet tørker. Feilaktig montering eller ujevn stramming av lerretet kan påføre kunstverket permanente skader og er ikke dekket av vår garanti.

  • Alle massive trelister er inkludert, presist tilpasset i størrelse.

  • Monteres med de medfølgende skruene, samt trelim til hjørnene, som ikke er inkludert og må anskaffes av din rammehandler.

  • Profesjonelt verktøy er nødvendig og er ikke inkludert: en lerretstang (strammer) og klemmer for å holde rammene vinkelrette mens limet tørker.

Viktig:
Hjørnene krever trelim, listene må holdes på plass med tvinger til limet er helt tørt, og stramming av lerretet på den ferdige rammen krever en lerretstang. Ingen av disse produktene er inkludert i settet. Vennligst sørg for tilgang til en erfaren profesjonell rammehandler før du bestiller denne størrelsen.
