Mollie Anna King: 37
Presented by the Black Mariah. Preview and opening performance from 6pm, Thursday 26 May
37 is the culmination of a six month residency at the National Sculpture Factory by Molly Anna King, National Sculpture Factory Crawford Graduate Awardee 2010.
King’s most recent work explores sculptural ‘happenings’ through the haphazard coalescence of everyday materials and objects, brought together to form systematically unstructured events. Ideas of process and performance interplaying with the idea of the personification and animation of objects.
Temporary materials such as wax and lard melt, mould and change both shape and consistency. 37, places these familiar domestic materials on conveyor belts and in and out of context, as mass produced commodities. In this installation these materials are imbued with a potential but turned off mid-performance, a constant, episodic, bordering-on-humorous investigation of ‘repetition’ and ‘uncertainty’ within a space created for passive viewing.
- Monday–Thursday 4–9pm
