KAB130 Week 6 Task 2 Artwork/artist review 1

Qagoma. (n.d) Ventilation System 1985–92. Nancy Holt. Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, 2022. https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/burn/nancy-holt/

I found this work to be rather relevant to the ideas 'The Art of Materials' as it works with the ideas of not only exposing the materials of the aircon systems, but keeping them working, not stripping the material and objects from their intended purposes.

"System Works’; site-specific artworks that make visible the extensive hidden infrastructure we rely on for our everyday existence. These works are fabricated from the standard components of each industrial system and become a sculptural form in themselves." (Qagoma, n.d)

"I intend the work to be practical yet playful, functional yet not really necessary, a part of the architecture’. - Nancy Holt." (Qagoma, n.d)
