Jason Peters creates unique installations from buckets, tires and other materials that he can easily get from the city's landfills. For many years now, this artist from New York has given life to things found on the street.
Using modular elements that the artist subsequently connects to each other, like building blocks, Peters creates interesting new forms. The artist himself completely assembles the entire structure, scrupulously dealing with each stage from concept to implementation. Large-scale constructions, however, look completely weightless, as if the artist, with just an effort of will, placed them in the air.
“Working on a project,” says the artist, “I spend about forty to sixty hours a week. By the way, I don't have my own studio - I work from home. And I work only when I can, not really worrying about working out the prescribed hours. But when I really get carried away, the household begins to worry about my state of mind."
The artist's first installation took place at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe in 2004. “It was my first personal exhibition,” the artist recalls. Many years have passed since then, but the artist's creative fervor is strong to this day: “I have a huge number of ideas. It is a pity that it is not always possible to find the time and money to bring them to life. However, I can say that I have always done what I wanted. I think my work will say much more for me."
A Californian artist, sculptor and furniture manufacturer, Barbara Holms, like her fellow countryman and colleague, creates installations from scrap materials. This time she has prepared an original fifty-meter installation in the form of a snake, consisting of thin wood planks. Holmes picked up all the elements of an impressive snake-like structure in a landfill.
