De Mar en Mar. The works on view date from 1994 to 2008 and bring together a rich diversity of films, objects and drawings
The exhibition De Mar en Mar by artist Tacita Dean, which has been curated by Vicente Todoli', follows as a continuation of the workshop directed by the artist at Villa Iris earlier in the year. It is a unique opportunity to see all the artist's sea works presented together for the first time in a place with a fine maritime history of its own, Santander. The sea has played a crucial role in the work of Tacita Dean, especially earlier on in her career. Drawn to it for its narrative possibilities, the sea has stayed a continual source of inspiration to her and the works in the exhibition weave together a series of stories that are connected by the role the sea plays in them, whether it be as backdrop to the narrative or as its main focus. The works on view date from 1994 to 2008 and bring together a rich diversity of films, objects and drawings including a rare opportunity to see the installation Girl Stowaway in its complete form, two significant series of blackboard drawings, the 16mm films, several photographic works, some of them newly produced for this exhibition, the artist's book projects and other ephemera related to the sea.
