Kerry Stewart

Beaconsfield, London

Engineer Part Five

Kerry Stewart is known for disquieting sculptures and installations which have most often been made from synthetic materials. In Engineer Part Five, she moves into a live arena.

For this Beaconsfield commission, Stewart will base a performing Blackbird in the vast rear Arch space at Beaconsfield.

Kerry Stewart (born Glasgow 1965) lives and works in London. Some of her best known works have featured life-sized figures wrapped in their own trauma: Pregnant Schoolgirl (1993), Twins (1995), Follower (1998). As Sculpture Fellow at Humberside University and Yorkshire Sculpture Park (1995) her sculptural contributions to the park were Myron, a vomiting man in 18th century costume leaning against a tree and Drowned Dog sited on the edge of a lake.

Recent solo exhibitions abroad have been at Centro de Arte de Salamanca, Spain (2003), Marianne Boeski Gallery, New York (2000) and in the UK at Project Space, Tate Liverpool (2001), Royal Festival Hall (2001) and Milton Keynes Gallery (2000). Group shows have included Girl, New Art Gallery Walsall and touring (2000/01) and Conversations, Milton Keynes Gallery (2000) and Young British Artists V, Saatchi Gallery (1995).

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.

Financially supported by Arts Council England with National Lottery Funds.
