By, With, To & From. This new series of works challenges the domestic architecture of the site with a series of jagged agitations. It comprises four large automated curtains, their mechanisms altered to perform a continuous series of choreographies - spontaneous gestures, captured and looped.
Fiorucci Art Trust is excited to present "By, With, To & From", a new series of works by New York-based artist Nick Mauss. This is the firts large-scale work commissioned by the Fiorucci Art Trust for its London headquarters.
Conceived especially for 10 Solane Avenue, "By, With, To & From" challenges the domestic architecture of the site with a series of jagged agitations. "By, With, To & From" comprises four large automated curtains, their mechanisms altered to perform a continuous series of choreographies - spontaneous gestures, captured and looped. As the fabric strutters, opens, and closes, it also carries and frames phrases and image around the ground floor of the house. Artworks from the Fiorucci collection, including "My idea of good taste" by Carissa Rodriguez, are installed in tension with this restless ensemble.
A programme of events runs parallel to the exhibition, beginning on 14 May, 7pm, with a conversation between Nicola Lees (Curator, Frieze Projects) and Kate Coyne (Programme Director, Siobhan davies Dance). Further events will be announced in due course.
