Edge and Shore
Arnolfini, Bristol
Acts of Doing. Performance and Installation
Visual artist Helen Carnac and dance artist Laila Diallo present Edge and Shore, a work exploring the edges and boundaries of making and working, performance and installation. Working within the gallery space the artists reveal an ever-evolving work that brings together objects, collected and found materials, images, film, writing and live making. A development of an extended research project where the artists considered process and making, the work explores where the borders of their two creative practices meet and permeate. The work offers an insight into the making process which is highlighted for two hours each day (12pm-2pm) when the artists will be in the gallery for a focused period of activity. The artists also venture out of the gallery, continuing to gather materials and ideas by looking out at the world together.
