Description/Abstract:

‘Jenga Arrangements’ is a research output by Dr Mike Marshall which consists of a series of 10 photographic prints on A3 recycled paper, laid on a desk. Each image shows a different arrangement of four wooden blocks from a game of Jenga. This game usually involves balancing a precarious structure but here the blocks are arranged into compositions that resemble models for larger scale minimalist sculpture.

The research explores relationships between contemplation and action. In the movement from one to the other we have an opportunity to change something, begin again, notice an automatic response or habit. ‘Jenga Arrangements’ furthers this research through a simple activity of composition. It asks what can be done within a limited framework and examines an economics of activity in relation to production.

Mike Marshall’s ‘Jenga Arrangements’ photographs were laid on a desk as part of the group exhibition ‘Horizon: Against Nature’ at the gallery of the Instituto Cervantes in New Delhi, India, in 2017. This exhibition was one of three shows in the UK and India curated by Jasone Miranda-Bilbao, Finlay Taylor and Vaibhav Raj Shah exploring the relationship and opposition between nature and industry. Previous work by Marshall had been selected for two of the exhibitions, and the new work ‘Jenga Arrangements’ was selected and disseminated for the first time in ‘Against Nature’ in Delhi.
