Digital Arts: Lucy Skaer

mercredi 21 septembre 2016

Description

This October the Sidney Cooper Gallery showcases internationally renowned,

contemporary visual artist Lucy Skaer’s significant installation ‘Leonora’. In

2006, Skaer came across two works by surrealist artist and novelist Leonora

Carrington at the Tate and it was the discovery of these two small drawings

which led to Skaer embarking on a journey to meet their author later that year.

The pieces in this installation are a response to the meeting which happened

in Carrington’s home in Mexico and pulls together Skaer’s diverse practice

which employs sculpture, drawing, printmaking and film into a portrait of the

encounter.

In 2009 Skaer was shortlisted for the prestigious Turner Prize and has shown

extensively nationally and internationally including the Carnegie Museum of

Art, Pittsburgh, 2010, Kunsthalle Basel, 2009, Fruitmarket Gallery, 2008 and

Venice Biennale, 2007.
