Goshka Macuga and Declan Clarke will make a bandstand and a functioning fountain in the gallery at Project. This new sculptural work is an experimental collaboration between the two artists and attempts to combine their individual concerns and sensibilities by merging them into an unexpected third.

Goshka Macuga mixes utopian idealism with DIY production values, grouping together artworks by others into a collective whole. These works play with traditions of archiving, museum display and public spectacle in ways that disorientate and delight.

Declan Clarke connects language, site, history and narrative in a manner that is both political and comic. With Clarke, these categories converge in artworks that explore the elasticity of meaning, stable entities such as names, notices and public monuments become exposed to multiple and conflicting interpretations.

The work is conceived as a notional civic structure that is simultaneously monumental and half-baked. It contrasts the idealism of collective endeavour, social cohesion and optimistic planning with the reality of disappointment and social dysfunction. As an artwork it explores the tensions inherent in any collaborative project, revealing both the marks of individual creativity and evidence of negotiation and compromise.
