Social Sculptures – Peter Foucault

For over a decade Peter Foucault has been creating community based, social practice projects that utilize mobile structures created by the artist to directly engage audiences in public spaces. Participants are invited to share their voice and ideas around issues that impact their lives and neighborhoods. A selection of these “Social Sculptures” will be on view at Axis Gallery in January 2024 and a month-long participatory project will be set up in the gallery inviting visitors to contribute. In addition the exhibition will feature documentation of previous mobile projects and collaborations.

In 2023, artist Roma Devanbu spent eight months in and around Germany simply seeing and responding with the fresh eye that being a stranger in a new/old world provides. The images that resulted are served up on Pappteller zum Mitnehman – the paper plates “To Take” used by both street vendors and bakeries in many parts of Europe. Their distinctive rectangular shapes and fluted corners of the plates function as frames for Devanbus visual takeaway.
