Ceal Floyer, Stable (2008)
Ceal Floyer worked with one of the ubiquitous irritations of social life: the placing of a folded beer mat under a table leg to stabilize it. In fact the idea of steadying an uneven surface was turned on its head and instead a situation of co-dependence was created, with all the legs of the table being balanced on beer mats and relying on each other to create ‘stability’.
Ceal Floyer (b.1968) is an artist based in Berlin.
Recent solo exhibitions include: Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami (2008) and Museum of Contemporary Art Donnaregina, Naples (2008); and group shows include: ‘Color Chart’, Museum of Modern Art, New York (2008). She was the winner of the Preis der Nationalgalerie Fur Junge Kunst 2007, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2007).
