Artist in Residence 2018

Suchart Wannaset installed an oversized garden fence that includes the environment outside the sculpture park. Behind the wall of the park, the pointed roof of a detached house peeks out, clearly visible. The fence makes it look weirdly small, almost as if it had sunk down. The shifting of proportions creates an image like a stage design: the seemingly inviting gesture of a suburban family home collides with the impression of an insuperable, dangerous barrier. Suchart Wannaset poses questions about community and inclusion in times in which the politically propagated need for safety in contrast fosters isolation and exclusion.
