Corin Sworn

Whitechapel, London

Corin Sworn's new work is inspired by the characters and tales of mistaken identity from the Italian Commedia dell'Arte theatre, performed from the 16th century by touring troupes. These plays and vagabond actors influenced Shakespeare and artists from Goya to Picasso. Sworn's installation uses performative and theatrical devices - props, lighting and costumes -to retell an infamous story of deception and imposture. Sworn (b. 1976) lives in Glasgow and is the latest winner of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, which nurtures female artists based in the UK in making a new work of art following an Italian residency. The judges included Director Iwona Blazwick, artist Runa Islam, gallerist Pilar Corrias, collector Candida Gertler and curator Lisa Le Feuvre. Supported by Max Mara and Collezione Maramotti.
