« The final gallery space is occupied by suspended forms: tubes combining blown glass and perforated metal, evoking systems of ventilation or cooling. Balanced by metal counterweights reminiscent of Duchamp’s “malic moulds” - forms which “mould gas” in The Large Glass -, the installation evokes the fiction of a pneumatic laboratory, structured as much by void and circulation as by insulation and circulation. Rather than alluding to the factory of the future, Caubet’s work engages with the social fabric of the present - one in which the very freedom to breathe may be called into question in the name of maintaining order. »
