For Engineer Part Four, Diepens is working live, intermittently, in the lower gallery until the end of May. She presents a series of new works assembled from assorted materials including machined stainless steel, recycled cloth, butter and human beings. She will modulate these sculptures between live and inanimate states to question the meaning of the work. These living sculptures will be repeatedly recreated and deconstructed, confronting the visiting public with an oddly psychophysical experience.

Part Four
For Engineer Part Four, Diepens is working live, intermittently, in the
lower gallery until the end of May. She presents a series of new works
assembled from assorted materials including machined stainless steel,
recycled cloth, butter and human beings. She will modulate these sculptures
between live and inanimate states to question the meaning of the work. These
living sculptures will be repeatedly recreated and deconstructed,
confronting the visiting public with an oddly psychophysical experience.
Carina Diepens (born the Netherlands 1958) has exhibited widely since the
early Nineties. She has collaborated as an artist and as a curator with
organisations such as De Fabriek, Eindhoven, Museum Jan Cunen, Oss and Bank,
London. Solo exhibitions include La Maison de Marijke Schreurs, Brussels
(2002). Diepens has participated in various international group shows - in
Austria, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland and
Switzerland. She has also been commissioned for special projects in public
spaces in the Netherlands.
Engineer is a project in six consecutive parts, beginning in June 2003 and
evolving through to the end of May 2004. Over the period, the various
exhibition sites at Beaconsfield will be brought into play by individual
artists, each new work remaining until the end.
