‘An object is standing because it is.
A surface is curving because it was told to.
Often things look moveable but aren’t. Sometimes they don’t look permanent, but are.
Sometimes these things don’t want to happen, but they do anyway.’
Annunciation unites Leopold Hauser Tregloan (b. 2002) and Max Perkins (b. 2003) to consider space as the commander of form in contemporary installation practice. Observing the architectural features of the gallery site - windows, light fixtures, doors - Tregloan and Perkins navigate how structural forms of a room can both compromise and encourage the agency of materials and people.
An object is an obstacle. A window is a window. A fluorescent bulb is a summoner. A fireplace: an often-dormant recess. Much for the same thing.
I am sure that I know what is inside a solid thing.
It’s still a rectangle if it isn’t.
A screw is a troublesome thing.
I saw a lot of nature at the zoo.
There are no more than four colours in the rainbow, and.
This tadpole is gonna be pissed when it grows legs.
- Max Perkins
