In its purest form, RePlaced refers to phenomena transposed to a another context. I ask it to be more meaningful than merely a change of context, and while I accept that MisApply is a big part of it, RePlaced is about placing, while MisApply is a process on a material. We'll see if that distinction becomes any deeper as I find more examples.

"British-born, Berlin-based artist Simon Starling's sculptures - an Eames chair made out of a Marin Sausalito bicycle; a Fiat built in Turin, driven to Poland, and reconfigured with Polish parts - arrive as the final outcomes of processes that encompass research, travel, and seemingly absurd personal initiative. By mapping the complex, interconnected physical and cultural trajectories of an object,"
Ayse Erkmen, Shipped Ships
"First project of the new Deutsche Bank "Moment" series: Shipped Ships by Ayse Erkmen brings a ferry from Shingu, Venice, and Istanbul respectively to Frankfurt on container ships. In accordance with the Turkish artist's concept, the boats with their original crews provide the public with ferry service on routes on the Main River for four weeks in May."

"by the 1960s, he (Duchamp) commented that geographical boundaries had become irrelevant as containers for cultural forms." - Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne, Whitney Bienniale 2006 Day for Night
HansSchabus
"Inside, Schabus blocks the entrance to the exhibition space with a wall, with unplastered traces of work showing in the entrance space, whereas the other side is invisible as part of the wall of the building. The only entrance to the main room that is available to visitors is a tunnel leading through the branching cellar and side rooms of the Secession. In the main room, Schabus has built a true-to-scale model of his atelier out of cardboard and squared timbers. It is not until one leaves the windowless installation that the construction and positioning of the "atelier" become apparent to the gaze from the outside."

"Set in a metal tub at the gallery's centre was Summary (Goodyear Ecology) (2004-5), a continuously irrigated car tyre track, carefully 'excavated' along with its unruly grass border from the artist's own cultivated swamp. The faint loamy odour and burbling stream of water contributed to the unexpectedly resonant and poetic commentary on how we imprint ourselves on the natural world in the most oblivious and innocuous ways." -Frieze

"Kreuzberg Puddle, presented at the first Tirana Biennale in 2001, involved the transportation of water from a puddle in Berlin to the floor of an exhibition venue that happened to have a leaking roof."-

"In the end, the project became an attempt at transposing parts of cultures into other cultures, to take a solution generated in one context and apply it in another. I had hoped that the friction caused by these misapplications would be interesting, and that I would learn something further about my own assumptions as well as those of our counterparts in other countries.
