Nabilah Nordin: Deadweight presents sculptures that work in the guise of classical and excavated historical objects, their authoritative associations undercut by industrial interventions — a galvanized bolt protruding from a bust, a relic resting on a laminated stage. Institution coats a welded steel armature in scagliola — a 17th-century technique imitating marble — to create an improbably delicate tower of bulky stacked forms. The titular work props a calcified, earthen object against a laboratory-clean yellow structure held by exposed steel rods, producing an artificial gravitas that mimics archaeological display. Art history's weight is cast throughout as deadweight: both burden and opportunity.
