FOR PRODUCT FRESHNESS, DO NOT THROW AWAY, is both a storage space and an installation in which the contents are permanently under reconstruction. As the work endlessly regenerates itself the space is divided and subdivided to make available places for display. Throughout the show objects continue to act as placeholders for each other. Once removed, the originals are unlikely to return. Simultaneously, the duration of existence of each formation is threatened by the inevitability of replacement and the filter through which the surfaces must surface to be seen.

 

LAUREN CHIPEUR is an artist currently based in Calgary, Alberta. She received a BFA in Sculpture from Edinburgh College of Art in 2012. In her work she aims to negotiate the perpetual systems of overproduction, value and superabundance in which we are inherently implicated.
