          "Trans Subjective Engagements" at Koenig and Clinton

"Trans Subjective Engagements" is a show taking place in New York and has seven different artists showing work in it.  On the wall were two plastic clogs hung on the wall, placed there by tyler Coburn. The two clogs placed there, required no human hand in there creation. This has context in economy and production. But these are two sculptural pieces that could be considered assisted ready mades placed on a wall so that they read as paintings in terms of there relationship to the wall. But it is in this that they can relate to Horlik's semiotic square of ceramics.  although these traditional objects are constructed with plastic rather than clay they would fall between three dimensional painting and non sculptural ceramics, being non traditional sculpture considering its being stripped of its function to be read as a painting. This is an example of the collapsing of mediums being more postmodern rather than modern.
