Not That One! (Shaped/deformed 12 inch Record -object- , Dirk Marwig 2012)
Sometimes, when I used to DJ my ex-wife used to be in the booth with me and she would shout: “Not That One!”-in reference to a record I was about to put on. Hence the object and the title. Memory. The photo of my hand was a hand-selfie to demonstrate the procedure!
METAPHOR (Cedar,Plywood,Nylon”Zap-straps”+Oil, 53cm x 55cm x 16.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2012)
For this object I chose the “Hermés” logo because I like the letter “H”. Hermés in greek mythology, is the messenger of the ‘Gods’. If you examine my work closer, you will come across the “H”(letter or symbol) frequently. The “H” for me represents the symbol for the eternal ‘Link’ or ‘Bridge’(like Hermés) to something we are always looking for (just like rummaging around for that ‘something’ we think we need in that handbag!) This thought process is like ‘lugging around’ useless weight because we already ‘know’ -we just have to trust our natural instinct and go with it.

FLOW LIGHT OBJECT (Plexi-Glass, fluorescent light, 34cm x 75cm x 13cm, Dirk Marwig 1997)
*The only tools I used to make this object were: a pencil, a screw driver, a ruler, a few clamps, a heat gun(to bend the shape), a drill, a multiple speed jig saw and fine sand-paper. The plexi-glass was found in the ‘rest-cut trash bin’ at the ‘Resopal’ plastics store in Madrid.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL NW (Plywood construction, enamel and oil, 69.5cm x 36.5cm x 27cm, Dirk Marwig 2012)
Archaeological North West. Future-Past. Timeless.
BRUCE ALWAYS POPS UP AGAIN! (Plywood construction with cotton cloth and oil, 42cm x 49.5cm x 1.7cm, Dirk Marwig 2012)
Bruce Lee always formed a big part of my life: the martial artist but much more the philosopher. I dedicated this object to him. Kitsch transformed. “Be like water” is one of Bruce Lee’s most famous quotes- I always try!
DYSFUNCTIONAL (Plywood object, 35.5cm x 59.5cm x 15.3cm, Dirk Marwig 2008)
-I’m pretty practical and to my mind everything can have a purpose and could be put to “use”. With this object I simply made the choice to ‘keep it dysfunctional’! ‘To keep it open’, as they say. Simple as that. Of course, I could put a slab of glass on it or use it to put umbrellas in or put my TV “cable box”(which in reality is the case!) or magazines into it… the possibilities for practical “use” and application are almost endless if you put your mind to it. That’s why I kept it “Dysfunctional” in order to ‘open up that door’ of possibilities in the mind of the spectator.
NONRONG™ Diplomat (Plywood, oil, 70cm x 16cm x 1.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2007)
-Another totally useless object. It has no function, no purpose… it simply ‘IS’ and therefore ‘it’ is a ‘NONRONG’. Like the Diplomat: Always right!
