For the exhibition in Rapperswil, GABRIEL KURI presented older works he categorizes under the “product testing” heading as well as a new series of sculptures created specifically for this project. His works often consist of functional everyday objects and disposable products, which become display objects as sculptures. In KURI’s work, these materials—via their actual functions, visual look and feel—serve as information media, whose usage also says something about the society that produces them.*
