Alicia Frankovich constructs spaces
very quickly and then denigrates them. Building
is in situ, a few signs maybe posted. Her political
agenda is one that relaxes conventional living
practices and exploits the power of physical
structures that impact on us as beings. Welding
appears substandard and walls unkempt, they
are not designed in the conventional living
sense. Not to sound sluggish, the 21st Century
“lethargy rhetoric” that is bound
to the aesthetic of this generation is overhauled
by the unapparent skill entailed in the construction
of this installation art. Alicia Frankovich
presents a contradiction where to highlight
the point; the viewer is innocent and vulnerable
in this image of the anti dwelling.

Alicia Frankovich is the producer in ‘A
Kelly Frankovich Production’. The artist
traces shapes in an environment, resulting in
a type of performance of making. Creating a
space that pushes against the constraints imposed
by architecture, she attempts to subvert the
social conventions of domestic habitation. The
work has a transient and heterogeneous quality,
privileging the ephemeral and tangible over
the fixed. The viewer becomes immersed in the
work as they would in an environ of the everyday.
Objects and spatial arrangements engage the
body in varied relationships.
