The main atrium of Mathaf will house Le Vase abominable (2013), a 5 1/2 meter sculpture, which consists of a tall brass pot positioned on top of an explosive device, a carefully crafted replica bomb. Little pot (2013) consists of eleven vessels each made from a different material, including gold, gum and salt. Their repetitive yet incongruous appearance highlights a recurring dichotomy in the artist’s work between décor and fetish. Also on view will be the sculpture Practice ZERO TOLERANCE(2006), a black terracotta car, appearing as if upended by a riot.
