cable

cable a cable with English-to-EU adapter, developed during the Red Van residency, France & Italy, August 2015 I have always been interested in work that challenges the structure of everyday life such as for example objects & machines that have no practical use whatsoever. With this work however the practical use is questionable as it is possible to actually connect an electrical apparatus. The cable and adapter have not been modified and can be used any time. The cable has a UK-plug which is attached to a European adapter. It is important that the EU adapter stays attached to it even if the cable is installed in England in which case an English adapter is to be fitted onto the EU adapter. The cable is always in-situ, i.e. depending on the space the cable will either have one or two adapter and is installed on the floor or hanging down from a socket. The work refers not only to Duchamps' (bought) and found objects but also to Arte Povera and the works by British artist Martin Creed which I hold in high esteem. web: http://jayrechsteiner.com/cable.htm
