CATRIONA WHITEFORD

1 Julho 2019 – 31 Julho 2019

BIO:

Catriona Whiteford (b.1985) lives and works in London and received her B.A. Honours Fine Art and Masters of Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Scotland. She works across disciplines in sculpture, photography and text, each formed from an ongoing examination of memory, sleep, insomnia and counter-consciousness. By creating structures reminiscent of active conflicts through notions of comfort and discomfort, her work suggests moments of vacancy; relief, absence, presence and the contortion of objects from their original intentions.
Catriona has been a co-director and committee member of various artist collectives curating and project managing exhibitions, workshops and artist commissions. She currently works at Tate Modern & Tate Britain.

PROJECT:

Central to the artist's open studio at Zaratan is the publication titled URZE BRANCA,(white heather). This new work is an assemblage of texts produced throughout the residency at the edges of day residue and mnemonic rupture. It is constructed as a chronological binding of circadian rhythmic shift and its dislocation from malignant sleep frequencies.
The publication acts as a conceptual underpinning to the artwork presented within the studio space, where each chosen discipline forms an interlacing of time, an auditory exploration and a recalibration of multiple internal and external bodily articulations.
 um entrelaçamento de tempo, uma exploração auditiva e uma recalibração de múltiplas articulações internas e externas do corpo.
