Michael Stumpf

This Song Belongs to Those Who Sing It

The words "Now Sing" are standing on stands, as a bold block sculpture. They are bright coloured. They are set on the terrace of a modern building.

The words "Looking at you" are written on the walls of the hallways, which is covered in metallic paper or paint. There is a angel like sculpture on one side of the hallway and next to it is another pink sculpture hanging off the ceiling.

A pink ring like structure is hanging on the railing of an old building.

Michael Stumpf’s sculptural practice uses a wide range of materials and processes to explore the nature of making and the existential experience of things. His work manifests itself in poetic sculptural propositions set in relation to one another to create carefully structured installations.

This ambitious new body of work considers the context of the art school as an ‘expanded field’, creating a sequence of points where the audience can encounter it. It began out on the street, creating new temporary landmarks on the balconies of Mackintosh and Reid buildings, then leads into the Mackintosh building, and concludes in the Mackintosh Museum.
