FedEx - Large Kraft Boxes
One of the ongoing series in Walead Besthy’s work consists of glass cubes which are shipped from exhibition venue to exhibition venue and inevitably but unforeseeably are damaged en route by their handling. The final artwork, an unofficial collaboration with FedEx, is the semishattered cube displayed alongside souvenirs from its formative journey - the cardboard shipping crates use as ready-made pedestals.
