Wishing you all a cheeky Tuesday, with help from British artist Anthea Hamilton and her 2015 sculpture Project for a Door (After Gaetano Pesce). The work comprises a vast backside with a wide enough thigh gap for people to walk through. Inspired by a photograph by Italian designer Gaetano Pesce, it was initially envisioned as a doorway for a New York apartment block—a plan that never materialised. Hamilton’s work draws on extensive research during which each of her subjects “is studied closely and used as a lens through which to view the world” (Hepworth Wakefield), and this is just one of many oversized sculptural iterations influenced by imagery from her archive.
