URNAMENTAL, 2006

"These three guys are state-trained sculptors, all of them supported even by the Derkovits scholarship. In the installation created here, they have reused their previous figures as usual. These are consistently human-sized: their limbs and upper bodies are made of expanding foam blown into stockings; their faces are separate applications. The artists use plaster masks made from each other's and their friends' faces, sometimes in wild colors and articulations. They give the final form with wigs and used clothing items, creating artificial humans that are completely believable in the peripheral field of vision. If the wig is voluminous enough, a face isn't even necessary. We can encounter faces in not just anatomically justified contexts, such as at the end of a rolled-up blanket, or on top of a gigantic lighter, with colorful bunny ears attached. They make horrific grimaces. The elaboration of the characters balances on the edge of wanting to express something, providing a minimum. A figure, which moreover can be identified as sexually passive and nothing more - because of the figure with screwdriver hands placed behind it - was formulated in the just recognizable posture of getting down on all fours, enlarged from styrofoam."
