| December 2008: Folly | |||
 View more images |
'Folly', seen here as a 1:8 scale maquette, has been commissioned by the Scheringa Museum of Realist Art in The Netherlands. The full scale work will stand in the grounds of a new museum complex, due to open in early 2010. Tom Flynn says: "Folly develops a number of themes present in many of Henry's past projects; the inclusion of an architectural element framing an open narrative; the presence of figures sleeping and apparently dreaming; a certain theatrical ambience. Once installed at Spanbroek it will be possible to enter this room and momentarily become part of the ensemble. Henry's Folly invites the viewer to enter a threshold zone uncertainly poised between a private bedroom and a public foyer. A man lies sleeping in bed while his alter ego stands nearby; a transparent wheel-back chair floats in mid-air; a stained glass window evokes a distant seascape. Entering this strange, dream-like space could be as disorientating as accidentally straying onto a stage during a play. What is this place? Who are these people and what, if any, is the connection between them? What role is the viewer expected to play in this still, silent drama? Sean Henry continues to ask questions to which there are no obvious answers" |
