Three 54-inch tall red marine buoys hang from the cantilevers that reach out from the roof of the museum. An ambitious artwork that incorporates the architecture of the masterpiece Coop Himmelb(l)au building, Buoyexemplifies how Feher brings attention to everyday objects and materials by presenting them in new ways.
In suspending the buoys upside down, Feher subverts their intended function and offers viewers an element of surprise and delight. These qualities are enhanced by the attention the buoys bring to the soaring cantilevers that define the museum’s conceptual footprint.
