La Mouche
SERGE JUPIN’S – R O B O T F A C T O R Y
JUNE 22 – JULY 13
Tenderproduct shop is very pleased to present Robot Factory, a new window exhibition/product display designed by Serge Jupin. Robot Factory’s kinetic sculptures literally give objects a whole new lease on life. Fashioned from found objects and recycled vintage materials, this wonderful ‘unique-piece’ collection of figures quietly clicks and whirs from a distance. It is only on a closer inspection that each robot’s humble origins (discarded objects such as little electronic items, rivets, bolts, and other everyday refuse) are revealed lending wit and poetry to each quirky mechanical assembly. The result: a perfect retro-futuristic design.
For Tenderproduct, the artist has created two unique kinetic mini-robot models: Mr. Mouche and Mr. Watson (available in our online shop). Both are solar-powered kinetic sculptures. Serge manages to ‘input’ personality into each entity; when watching one spring into action from the rays of the sun, it is amazing how fast a bond of attachment can be made. These little characters will be available at Tenderproduct shop throughout the exhibition, and will remain part of the Tenderproduct collection afterwards. Also on display are medium and large-scale automatons hand-crafted by the artist.
