Wow! 🤯❤️ #Repost @tate ・・・ 'I operate very often in these ‘frozen moments’ where there’s been lots of action but this is a sort of quiet corner of that… So it’s not the explosion, it’s more the contemplation, you know, the quiet contemplation of these things in the air' - Cornelia Parker Cornelia Parker's 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View' is the scattered contents of a garden shed, which was exploded by the British Army at her request. The bits of shed and dispersed objects, twisted and blackened from the force of the blast, were carefully gathered together after the explosion. Some objects were never found – either blown far away and missed or totally destroyed. The surviving pieces are suspended in the air as if held mid-flight. In their new life they are transformed and re-energised. Rather than provoking horror, the pieces can be contemplated. This month the work was installed at @mca_australia in a major exhibition of the artist’s work. 🌏
