The Exhibition Hall
Tablespoons is a second version of project Egg built in 2012. These kinetic sculptures deal with the behaviour of matter and the control exercised over it by electromechanical devices. The movements of the mechanism are constantly repeated and put four eggs in balance exercises. Sometimes, those eggs pass from one spoon to another, driving the visitor attention on the risk taken during the action. When there is no egg involved, the spoons perform a poetic choreography. The work highlights the exchange between the machine and the movement of matter while revealing the poetic side of everyday life.
Samuel St-Aubin (CA)
Samuel St-Aubin has been part of the electronic arts world since 2002. He has helped produce the work of a number of Quebec artists and collectives. For the past few years, he has been focusing on his own creative efforts. The electronics technician reinvents everyday objects. He injects another dimension into his creations that goes beyond the utilitarian reality of the object, by diverting them from their primary purpose, radically disrupting our relationship with the object. With unflinching precision, his works let us tap into the poetry of the everyday, discovered in the simplicity of existence.
