“Emergent speculative environments, packed with traces of novel materials and modular technologies that make use of them. Their origins undetermined or tactfully masked. Concealed. In the forefront, sculptural installations, utilising the principles of speculative design, theory and fiction to further the constructed environment’s suggestive reach.
The practice of Andrej Škufca tackles the medium of sculpture to bring forth large-scale installations that forgo the viewer for the material processes that will surpass it once deployed into the world. It sides with art that refuses to take on anything, if anything stands for everything in its inherent trivialisation (‘anything goes’). [1] Rather, it remains distant, its interest undefined, detached. In the refusal of the trivial, the sculptures’ forms step out of the referential realm and become an operative trace, a trigger.”
