Podpory

Podpory, 2001
Steel, glass boxes, found objects

Urban Art collected the many objects stored in the museum's magazine, put them into small glass boxes and used them to build variously shaped supports. The Polish word 'podpory' means something like structure, columns, support.

"The artists return to the found objects their dignity, that has been lost through oblivion and devastation. The rehabilitation process of the previously neglected objects is reinforced by the architectural function of the supporting columns, namely the ceiling-bearing function. The found objects not only testify to the past, but seem to fulfill also a useful function as load-bearing construction elements. This in turn revives them."
