‘Skill Service’
2012, 2014
(Pin boards and stationary from an Adult Education Centre, cart, soundtrack, handout)
Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, NL
‘Skill Service’ is a series of collages based on pin boards, notices, images and stationary from Community Learning and Skill Service (CLaSS) an adult education centre in London which had a special focus on arts, crafts and interpretation. The installation becomes an abstract inventory of the classrooms and alludes to the familiar process of acquiring knowledge. Information is accumulated, piled, filed and at times forgotten; fragments drift to the background, before fading entirely. The accompanying handout is a reprint of an art assignment found amongst the stationary, themed ‘I, Me, Mine’.
