It is found in the sculpture garden at the rear of the NGV International. The structure is a tall black wooden tower bisected to create two separate but conceptually linked chambers. It's when you look up that you begin to see different shapes that frame the sky.
Exhibition Review - Finbar Ward: 'In Absence' FOLD, London till 7th May 2016.
It moved, I swear,
with serious mouths,
endorsing codes,
plotting betrayal. - Drenched Co.
Comment: "Finbar's work reminds me of the French artist Brig Laugier's reconstructions of the book as object. I see parallels with Ms Laugier's examination of the media specific term 'book' in the context of Roland Barthes essay "From Work to Text". In a time when few subscribe to a primacy of the medium, Finbar's art questions the limits of painting and the movement away from it towards the ubiquitous 'works of art' while sticking obstinately to his chosen language. I loved how he gave the gallery polygonal reptilian scales.." - Raj
