Ser Serpas
Details
Description
The artwork depicted in the image appears to be an abstract sculptural piece displayed in a dilapidated, unfinished interior space. The visual elements include a large, circular white disk with scratches and marks on its surface, mounted on a simple black metal stand. The overall composition features the contrast between the rough, textured ceiling and walls and the clean, geometric lines of the sculpture. The artistic style and technique suggest a minimalist, conceptual approach, with the artwork inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between the natural wear and tear of the environment and the carefully crafted object. The historical context or the artist's intention behind this piece is unclear, but it seems to explore the relationship between the decaying surroundings and the ephemeral nature of human-made forms. ...

Ser Serpas
B.1995Ser Serpas’s practice exists at the blurred intersection of art, poetry and activism. Whether creating sculptures from debris found on the street, working with a hoard of fabric gifted by her friends, making an exhibition out of objects she found at the exhibition site, drawing in public spaces, or writing on train rides, Serpas makes work that complicates the notion of materiality amidst the late-capitalist condition. Created in private, intimate, seemingly improvised moments, the works are never fully -visible to her audiences. The artist’s exhibitions are composed of assemblages of discarded and mistreated objects turned corporeal, becoming what the artist calls ‘assisted readymades’. Subverting Duchamp’s readymades and Rauschenberg’s Combines – the male-dominated history of sculpture – Serpas returns the objects to the streets after her exhibitions, allowing them to revert to their original state and provokes playful questions about the value of the space inside a museum, as opposed to the outside. An activist since high -school, the artist speaks up about structural inequalities, and provides support through facilitated workshops, community aid and artistic inspiration.
