Toblerones
May 2nd, 2008The toblerones have arrived.
In the upcoming exhibition, John Armleder and Oliver Mosset, Mosset will present an ambitious installation of Toblerones… sculptures based on anti-tank obstacles used by the Swiss army in World War II. The toblerones in this exhibition are cardboard replicas, something made possible by our friends at Boxes Inc. Once they are all put together (there are 30 of them), they will stand around six feet tall and completely take over one of our gallery spaces. So, not only will a viewer be trying to digest what they are staring at initially, they will also have to try to figure out how they are supposed to deal with this and may have questions in their mind such as “do I walk through these large sculptures,” “am I supposed to just stand here and look at them,” “why are these massive sculptures blocking the paintings on the other side?” It will allow people to undergo a complete art experience, probably entailing confusion and wonderment.

We are also in the process of installing Armleder’s wallpaper and if you are interested on a giant wall update…it is now bright orange.
