Beatriz Olabarrieta has occupied the gallery for one month to develop a presentation of new sculpture and video. These works are concerned with the artist’s ongoing research into the inherent potential of construction materials through undoing some of the roles and functions that have been imposed on them. Working directly with material inside the gallery space has opened up the possibility of generating a new language, perhaps closer to the intrinsic voice of the materials at hand. Expanding on this she has developed a script and performance. During the course of events Olabarrieta invited Ellen Mara De Wachter to write a supporting text, 'Shifting thoughts on stringy forms', which will accompany the exhibition.
Shifty Show Prezi
The final stage of Beatriz Olabarrieta’s event is accompanied by a Shifty Show Prezi, a cloud-based drawing telling the story of the artists’ exploration and her intentions for the performative event.
