Title: David Eckard: Tournament (lumens)
Dates: May 9 - June 22, 2003
Location: Consolidated Works, 500 Boren Ave. N., Seattle, WA
Accompanying the exhibition Wrapture will be a solo installation by Portland sculptor and performance artist David Eckard. Tournament (lumens) is an environment reminiscent of a sporting arena containing large-scale wood, metal and fabric sculptures evoking game equipment and a victor’s throne. Eckard has long explored the realms of sexual and body politics by creating works that reference bondage paraphernalia, Victorian-era corsetry, and theatrical props and costumes. Eckard will perform throughout opening night, actually entering into the Tournament stage, interacting with and wearing his creations.
