Listen "47: Dad's Shrinking Expectations"
Episode Synopsis
'Writhing' (as Dad says) around in a pocket of shrink-wrap, participants in Belgian artist Lawrence Malstaf's 'Shrink!' move from a foetal position to a pose reminiscent of cruxifiction. Focussing on immersive, interactive artworks, Malstaf draws on his work as a scenographer for theatre and dance performances to create unique experiences for his audience - including being vacuum-sealed like a steak. Is this artwork more than a reflection on 'man as meat' - could it be a metaphor for life itself, or our (in)ability to control the conditions we live in? More importantly, will Malstaf's work meet Dad's ever-shrinking expectations for contemporary art? See images here!
