Quest Object
consists of a sculpture/candlestick that holds a candle in the shape of the
artist’s head. The steel candle stick is spray painted in gray high gloss
lacquer.
Quest object is accompanied by a A2 rubbing. The rubbing shows a figure/knight (Widu
Gasti) holding two candles. A figure/selfportrait that occurs in several
works by Vaast Colson. The figure appears through its black background.
Seemingly lit up by the candles the figure is holding.
The signed and numbered rubbing (edition of 10) is stored in the diagonal tube that holds the candle.
Simular to the drawing, the actual candle functions as an object to enlighten its close environment. To light up the drawing that can be installed alongside the sculpture.
An object to be used when one is in search of - a a quest object.

Daily Sleepdrunken Lists is a systematic work that Vaast Colson completed within a specific time-frame. From 21st June 2007 to 20th June 2008 his first task each day was to quickly and intuitively fill in an alphabetical list. A habitual action which soon became an unexceptional part of the morning ritual, on the same level as filling a glass of water, but which did require time at the most delicate moment of the day. The aim was not to create a work conspicuous for its long duration, but to intensify the factor of time as part of the visual work and to give himself a task that confronts the unseen, routine aspect of being an artist. The work of art is reduced to a matter of discipline, because there is only one single passion: living for 365 days, giving substance to these days, remaining alert and in the process leaving a trace of oneself. The result is a structured, encyclopaedic work in which minimal variations appear, influenced by the geographical location, personal mood and physical condition.
