I'm curating a series of four moving image shows at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich. Please come to the private view for the first one!
Aglaia Konrad: Concrete and Samples
Friday 19 October at 6pm
Lower Gallery, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts
University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ
in the company of the artist
Concrete & Samples I, II, III is a series of films on sculptural architecture. The sites in all works, while disparate, embody the idea of ‘architecture as sculpture’, with space itself taking the central role in the absence of any conventional narrative. Where Concrete and Samples I and II explore specific Modernist buildings – the Wotruba Church in Vienna and the Eglise St.Bernadette-du-Banlay in Nevers respectively – the third film forms a radical counterpoint, focusing on a marble quarry, a temporal (and temporary) landscape; a space invested with agency.

This installation is the first of four in the series Apparent Positions. Based around the notion of transfigured space, the four shows – separate, yet in dialogue with one another – comprise work which deals with spaces imagined, implicated, even compromised. With work by Aglaia Konrad, Beatrice Gibson, Cyprien Gaillard and Marine Hugonnier. For more information, see www.promontories.org
