In Assemblage 6 British artist Faye Toogood sets out to ‘unlearn’ the process of design and build it up again from scratch.
Examining the inception behind a designer’s collection, Assemblage 6 starts off with almost 300 maquettes (chairs, lamps, stools, daybeds and sculpture made of wire, cardboard, tape, canvas or the everyday studio materials) from which seventeen are chosen to be scaled up to life-size works. Toogood's process plays with the sense of dissimulation evident in the final artworks and suggests how deceptive first appearances can be.
