Wooden sculpture CAGE N° 1 - ALA NIKE DI SAMOTRACIA

jesmonitehandmadeMade in Italy

Daniele Accossato’s sculpture are dispatched, transported, sold and then resold and re-transported. Works of inestimable value are tied, gagged and locked up in narrow containers ready to be stored and then dispatched. The key to interpretation lies not so much in the sculptural subject (which is reduced to an archetype), as in its “setting”, the container. This italian sculptures are displayed in their transport containers, crates or wooden cages that are both confining and protective. The crates, the cages, the packaging, make the work into a commodity.
