This is  surrealism and a metaphor for the mysterious, the unknown and the unexpected. \n\n\nFEASIBILITY\nI\u2019m proposing a sculptural project tailored to my experience of previous site specific projects in London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tehran and especially the Latin Americas: Argentina (Bs As) and Uruguay (MV).\n\nMy 2010 installation 'All your base' presented a visceral scene of intergalactic conflict, made up of forty-two individual sculptures and sixty-five variously sized plinths. My 2015 project of Freight presented a 'dystopian container terminal in space', made up of thirty-five large and 350 small sculptures. I\u2019m therefore well-practiced at creating ambitiously-scaled, transformative environments under deadlines.\n\n\nTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\n\n- A site-specific sculpture for an indoor location.\n\n- Made by myself on-site or on a location nearby.\n\n- Modelled in clay, mould with silicone and cast in polymer.\n\n- The colour is concrete-grey.\n\n- The projected sculptural scale will be 25-35m\u00b3. Height: 3,5m, width: 1m70, depth: 3m.\n\n\nPRELIMINARY MODEL\nI made a scale model for this proposal, you find the pictures attached. Imagine it on a 3,5 meters height. The bolts on the last picture represent people, emphasizing on the balance between spectators en sculpture.","space":"REQUIREMENTS\n\n- An indoor space with at least 35m\u00b2 of exhibition space. \n\n- If indoor: a ceiling of at least 3m. 5m or more is preferred.\n\n- An even floor.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":8,"names":"Simon","surname":"Van Parys","email":"simonvanparys@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"EN073511","address":"Veldwijkstraat 22","city":"Ledeberg","nacionality":"Belgium","country_id":"19","birthdate":"1986-03-17T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1986-03-17T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+32486651401","web":"www.studiovanparys.com"}
