The Loss of the Self in a Time of Uncertainty, 2011

"OUR WORK REVEALS AN INNER CALM, WHILST ALSO ALLOWING US TO ECAPSULATE A HOLISTIC VACUUM WHILE OBJECTIFYING CONCENTRATIONS OFTEN SEEN AS ITERATIONS OF THE CUTTING EDGE"



pump are a group of five artists who call themselves a collective. Like Banksy, their origins are intentionally shrouded in mystery. Responses to their latest Youtube event suggest they originally met at Goldsmiths.

This latest piece from the collective appears to question our assumptions on the very nature of sculpture.

Is it a reference to Andre’s challenge to the Art Establishment of the ’60s? Is it simply a publicity stunt? Perhaps it is a genuinely thought-provoking work of art disseminated by new media.
