Yuken Teruya
Golden Arch Parkway McDonald's (Red Yellow)

2005

About the Item

The use of commonplace materials is important contemporary conceptual minimalist, Yuken Teruya's practice to maintain an everyday association. These objects are understandable on both a micro and macro level. They connect locally and internationally, personally and publicly, and merge political and historical viewpoints. His intention is to remind viewers to slow down from their busy lives and maintain a consideration that little things in the world matter. In Golden Arch Parkway McDonald's (Red Yellow), (a work that forms part of a larger series titled, Notice-Forest), a tree stands inside a McDonald's paper bag. While it seems like the bag is holding the fragile tree inside, the bag actually combines with the tension of the tree to hold the bag up. It is a microcosm of the initial tree’s strength. The trees are “portraits,” with each referencing a specific, existing tree from a photograph.
