For Outdoor Festival Rub Kandy has decided to invade the space of three adjacent rooms in the central gallery. Technique and medium distinguish the works, yet there is a common thread that unites them: the space, the artist’s modifications, and the inaccessibility of the areas. The three site-specific works come from a deep research into the building and its architectural elements.
Room 1 – A dark, narrow room filled with water and, in the background, a large circle of light. The enclosed space gives a sense of hardship amplified by the presence of a wall, built by necessity when the plant was active. The large light and its subsequent reverberations are elements that guide the spectator and offer reprieve from the overwhelming sensation the room brings upon their eyes.
