Hi all, needing hep for my degree project.
I'm trying to look up artists that focus on the relationship between different materials/ and how an object or thing can have its status completely changed when its taken out/ away from its natural context and put into a new environmant. ect.

Anyone know of any artists that focus on the relationships of the material they're using rather than the end project?

(fine artists/ conceptual artists only please (quite modern contemporary artists))


Thanks!!

Something to set you apart from the rest would be to look up Daniel Spoerri. He made a series of works called 'Tableau Pieges' (trapped pictures) - at least one of which is in the Tate collection, and there is his book called 'The anecdoted Topography of Chance'. I'll subscribe to this thread and you can get back to me if you need more stuff.

Chris Ofili turns elephant dung into art, which may be the sort of thing you have in mind?
The exhibitions programme at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester is generally good for this kind of approach.
