Jude Tallichet “U Turn” at Studio 10
Jude Tallichet juxtaposes a life-sized vehicle, deconstructed into ten pieces, and a tall arch modeled from stacked ceramic plates. Cast in Forton—an acrylic based concrete-like material—these two large scale sculptures are ambitious physical feats. The work lies in an in-between or dual state, funky yet elegant, serious yet humorous, as are the six cast bronze iPhones with engraved phrases such as “There are many realities” or “I’m a little drunk.”
It is described in the show’s literature as “alluding to the shift in America from optimism of our old ‘open road’ culture to the present state of malaise.”
