The Rea Garden is now host to the second of four artist residencies over a 12 month period. Claudia Borgna, is now residing at the site and will be with us throughout January, February and March 2010.
Claudia’s work ‘entails the investigation of what she calls the “evolution of landscape”, a process started and effected by modern life-styles and consumerism. Her installations are the materialization of an ongoing observation and questioning of how the “plastic” and the natural realms interact with one another and thereby come to create new ephemeral orders’.
Throughout her residency Claudia expects to create a series of installations from recycled plastic bags, which will be temporary and evolving over the next 10 weeks. There will be an opportunity to meet Claudia, each Friday at The Rea Garden, where she will be on site along with Behind Closed Doors and Ian England of Project Pigeon.
Claudia’s residency will have two public openings, giving the audience the opportunity to see the work transform during her residency. The first private viewing takes place on Friday 12th February 6 – 9pm. From that point the installation will remain in situ, and available to view until Sunday 14th February @ 4pm.
The second of the private viewings takes place at the end of Claudia’s residency – Thursday 11th March 2010, 6pm – 9pm. The work will continue to be on view for a further two weeks.
