Following David Shrigley's installation Look At This earlier this year, artist Gavin Turk has delivered his own tongue-in-cheek piece for Skip Gallery, in London's Hoxton Square. Discover more about Transubstantiation and its creator in two short films from Canvas Arts.
Turk’s piece, Transubstantiation, provides viewers with a comical expression of the Skip Gallery ethos: a "humorous commentary on consumerism".
One of the so-called Young British Artists (YBAs) who rose to fame in the 90s, Turk became known for his subversive sculptural works that question artistic identity and authorship.
His work at the pop-up gallery "questions the very nature of a skip as a place to dispose of rubbish, and our relationship to what we choose to throw away".
Skip Gallery was created by co-founders and creative partners Catherine Borowski and Lee Baker, two London-based artists who take the mundane and everyday and try to reimagine them in new situations.
Transubstantiation is at Skip Gallery, in the parking space opposite 19 Hoxton Square, London N1 6PB, until 26 November. Films produced by Canvas Arts.

I love the response of: hi-vis fella at 0.36 and tired and emotional gal at 1.31 in the top video. Perfect. Heading down there now for a closer look. ... Damn, it's cold outside. The exhibit / skip itself is being met mostly with bemused expressions / smirks... If you can't make it – you're not missing a lot. |
