Primavera '09 hosts a multitude of interdisciplinary works, one of the most provocative works being that of Christopher LG Hill - Clique. The installation work features a collection of centrally facing chairs derived from the MCA storeroom, the works of other artists and various other sources. Sitting amidst the chairs are precisely ordered piles "junk". Also present within the installation is Hill's recent thesis Never work, all art is problematic.
Challenging the object value systems and consumer driven society we perpetuate, Hill also questions the level of interaction the gallery space and it's staff have upon a work (significant in this case, the work having utilized a number of the chairs). In a larger sense, Hill questions the nature and structuring of the art institution globally; to what extent is art of any use if it is not universally accepted? In which case, why make art?
