[Tina] And we're standing here but as we're standing, I'm looking at this incredible object and it really isn't a sculpture and hearing it because it's a radio playing, isn't there?발음듣기
대기중
[Bruce] Yes and there's a table lamp with the light on and a bowl of melting ice cream and one of those wonderfully disheveled chairs with still the imprint of someone who's sat there too long and an old pair of shoes.발음듣기
대기중
[Tina] Right and speaking of daily life, let's take a really close look here at what we're seeing because there's definitely like we've been transported into a decaying hotel room.발음듣기
대기중
This is in a funny way, a vignette through the dark lens of Ed Kienholz and Nancy, looking at Americana, the state highway.발음듣기
대기중
Little units attached with a carport, one to another like a train and here, we're at the office, a red vacancy sign buzzing in the window.발음듣기
대기중
[Tina] Oh, yeah. Right. The Venetian blinds, the drywall aged and kind of spattered with rain.발음듣기
대기중
[Tina] Right, it is but it isn't because on the one hand, here we are and we can actually stand outside the wall of this room look through window and then of course, at the same time, walk right around it and the inside of the room.발음듣기
대기중
And the other thing that's really disrupts that sense of looking at a representation, is that we see the wire that makes this thing work.발음듣기
대기중
[Bruce] The Kienholzes created two platforms with brick paving, linoleum and they have aluminum-wrought handles, so you could pick it up and carry it.발음듣기
대기중
[Tina] Right and it's a motel and it's also a motel that evokes the road and evokes the highway, and evokes this kind of transient culture of people who don't really stay.발음듣기
대기중
What I find really revealing about it and the poignancy, emotionally for me, are these old man slippers, the half-consumed bottle of Jim Beam bourbon, a few magazines by Soldier of Fortune and Western tales and then the pipes.발음듣기
대기중
It's a man, perhaps a veteran, living out the last days of his life managing a little motel on a road that no one uses.발음듣기
대기중
Kienholz is evoking for us a whole environment, a whole space for us but if I look down and I look around, of course, here I am in the galleries.발음듣기
대기중
[Bruce] Yes. It's that whole tradition in 20th century art of tableau and assemblage from the early cubist paintings that incorporated chair caning and ropes and bits of newspaper to the surrealist who would evoke the internal dreaming of the mind through objects recontextualized, the fur-lined teacup to Joseph Cornell in American art and the vignettes of the pop artists.발음듣기
대기중
[Tina] Right. And if I really think about it, as I stand right at the very edge of this object, I mean really, where does it begin and it end?발음듣기
대기중
I mean if I put my arm, I'm kind of in the space but there's a different floor to the space.발음듣기
대기중
[Bruce] Yes. It has a contained periphery that's psychological and yet, are experienced because we recognize every element that makes it up from the rag, rug, to the clock, to the disassemble.발음듣기
대기중
[Bruce] It is our world and yet, we're observers and we see something at an arm's length that we may never have personally experienced but we know this place.발음듣기
대기중
[Bruce] Yeah, the plastic in case, AM/FM radio, slightly squawky, slightly out of tune but there.발음듣기
