The games of William Lamson (english)

Por Hada Luz, 29 de janeiro de 2010 14:09

William Lamson’s work is really refreshing!  His actions, interventions and installations have a very elegant sense of humor that manage to transform simple things into very poetic pieces.  He has a very playful attitude towards the objects and contexts he works with. Maybe that’s why he uses balloons so often. When you see his work you’re not asked to solve a very complex intellectual riddle. He addresses himself to the most basic and essential child game logics. He is talking to the risky children that we all were once.

In his videos he constructs very concise narratives between himself and the objects he plays with. The connecting argument between most of them is a sculptural curiosity eager enough to look for small and powerful dramaturgies. There is a naive and childish pleasure undergoing most of his work. A successful attempt to take games seriously.
