Pavilion II, within limits 1921-1995
For Pavilion II, Within Limits 1921¿1995 Banu Cenneto lu has collaborated with the London-based conceptual artist Shiri Zinn. One of Zinn¿s limited edition, glass pieces has been customised to become a cremation urn carrying a sample of dust collected from the exhibition site in the former artillery barracks in Murcia. This glass object can then exist as a monument to the historic functions of the site, to reflect on a legacy of authority, pleasure and the interdependency of power. It is an ode to impotence versus monumentalism.
