The Turner Prize-winning artist’s latest project is tale of craft, culture and climate crisis
The conceptual artist Simon Starling is best known for his Turner Prize-winning Shedboatshed, 2005, for which he transformed a wooden shed into a boat and sailed it down the Rhine, before returning it back to its original form. Born in the UK but now residing in Denmark, he explores a similar concept in his latest project Houseboat for Ho, a site-specific, cross-cultural exchange combining Bolivian reed boat building and traditional Danish thatching.
It changes the relationship that craftspeople have to the making process; if I’m fully invested, then they will be too.” The Estebans, a well-known family in reed boat-building, made perfect partners. Their forebears worked alongside the Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl in the 1970s and built ships that can still be seen in the Kon-Tiki Museum. While the structure of Starling’s Houseboat for Ho pays homage to traditional Bolivian boats, the curvaceous silhouette resembles a big smile.
