Shane Krepakevich’s Structure for Art Metropole was first developed to travel to the Institutions by Artists conference in Vancouver in October 2012. It was designed as a malleable format collecting ephemeral items from our archive. The second iteration, made in collaboration with Elif Saydam, was first presented at Art Metropole’s Show & Tell & Sell benefit in May 2013. Elements of the structure have also travelled with Art Metropole to art fairs internationally. A third iteration accompanies Art Metropole’s Anniversary Celebration in the Great Hall of Union Station, as well as Villa Toronto.

 

This mobile, multi-component structure accompanies furnished rooms. The structure also furnishes; it supports and presents a range of [archive] materials. These materials weigh slightly on the structure’s form, adjusting themselves in response. The objects accumulate as wishful anchors. Please extend the multi-component structure with chairs and plants (if possible, Ellen Danica). These complements are not peripheral; they anchor the structure’s pieces. Each borrows another’s weight and position, redrawing the lines of relation. The objects drape one another in mutual gravitational obedience.
