Visual art reviews: David Mach's exploding cottage impresses at Galway Arts Festival
Burning Down the House, by David Mach, at Galway International Arts Festival.
David Mach has become something of a regular in Galway, this being his fourth major show at the International Arts Festival in twenty years. The Scottish artist likes to work at scale, and his installation this year is a huge sculpture of an exploding cottage called Burning Down the House. No explanation is given for the explosion; all the viewer is presented with is the work itself, a 3-D model of a traditional stone cottage that one can walk around and see from all sides.
