Maquettes for Municipal Carnival Floats, 2007

Paint, paper, modelling clay, board, wood, silk. Mead Gallery Warwick, UK commissionership Sharon  Kivland

These models are a reinterpretation of Rêve Municipal  (Municipal Dream), a large scale installation constructed in Nantes for the 2007 Estuaire Biennial which consisted of an arrangement of elements borrowed from the city’s stock of objects; chairs, tables, benches, voting booths, bunting, barriers, stage blocks and the many other things needed for the administration and entertainment of of a city. Here, scenes from the installation are imagined as floats for a carnival parading the props of civic life.
