Canadian artist Dave Trautrimas has created an exhibition featuring architectural compositions made from common household objects. Titled The Spyfrost Project, the show will open at Toronto's LE Gallery on 28 April.The gallery details:
"(The objects reassemble)... top secret, Cold War era military outposts. These skunkworkstructures, hybrids of both machinery and architecture, stand as colossal weaponized ancestors to common objects such as refrigerators, lawnmowers and washing machines. Fashioned with aspiring futurism, yet an ominous sense of militaristic purpose, these installations link the parallel development of capitalism’s postwar consumer culture and the Military Industrial Complex. Balanced between the promised utopian culture of leisure, facilitated by what the latest in modern manufacturing had to offer and the threat of a global catastrophe wrought by ICBM’s, super sonic jet fighters, and spy satellites, this series elicits the tense equilibrium between the extremes of design and technology during the Cold War era."
