Simeon Barclay

  • ... that artist Simeon Barclay's "sculpture of a chicken on its own little mini-mountain" references a traditional Indian game? Source: Timeout: "Simeon Barclay, ‘Pittu Pithu Pitoo’. One of the UK’s smartest young conceptually-focused artists, Simeon Barclay’s sculpture of a chicken on its own little mini-mountain is meant to symbolise being on the outside, the periphery, never managing to be accepted."The Yorkshire Post: "The sculpture’s form and title relate to an ancient traditional Indian game played by the artist in his youth. Played by two teams, it involves a pile of seven precariously assembled stones and a ball."
