About the work

Richard Healy’s edition for Whitechapel Gallery is an object developed from his video Lubricants & Literature, featured in The London Open 2018. The video features a boxing gym serviced by an oyster bar, with a view over the Hudson River, based on an architectural description taken from the writing of Rem Koolhaas.

The edition is made of three components, an oyster shucker, a woven lanyard and an individually numbered nickel plate. The oyster shucker, whilst for decorative purposes only, is conceived as sculpture or wearable object. Forged in steel, the shucker is painted in the same flesh pink as sculptural props and objects which populate the video’s highly charged environment. The woven lanyard bears the name Delirious Oyster Bar New York, and an individually numbered nickel plate evokes the keys to a locker room.

About the artist

Richard Healy (born 1980, London) works in a range of media including video, sculpture, installation and print. His practice considers the relationship between art and design, simultaneously referencing recognised design histories as well as creating unrealised ones. Through digital technology, Healy creates fictional spaces, often accompanied by stories or parables, encompassing objects and props that suggest gay male erotic possibilities

''Embodied through simulations of design, my practice frequently engages with digital technology as a means for artistic production and with the acts  of labour that are obscured beneath the finish'' 

Healy studied MA Fine Art at the Royal College of Art 2006-2008 and BA Hons Interactive Art at Manchester Metropolitan University 2000-2003 and has received residencies from Acme Studios, Wysing Arts Centre and Kingston University. He lives and works in London.

Classic holder keeps paper towels in place in a breeze.
Color: 06-bronze
This classic paper towel holder works perfectly. I had constantly unrolling paper towels in the breeze. This holder keeps everything in place now. So nice. Plus, it has a sleek, uncluttered design. I’m very pleased.

Only holds towels in place when it is full or 1/2 full
Color: 01-silver
If you are buying this for the feature of holding the paper towels in place so you can just rip one, I think you will be disappointed. Once the roll becomes smaller (and I tried changing the arm) the arm does not touch the towels. I do like the firm grip on the counter. My other dissatisfaction is the base gets water spots. Being near the sink this happens frequently. It does its job and is attractive.

Stylish
Color: 01-silver
Good sturdy stand for paper towels. Has small suction cups on bottom for stability. Good finish and good fit under the counter. Heavy base and not flimsy feeling. Brushed aluminum matched other appliances well.
