Thirteen Ways of Looking Curator, Dr Sylvia Theuri talks to artist Matias Serra Delmar about his work.
ARTIST: matiasserradelmar.co.uk
EXHIBITION: theherbert.org/whats_on/1533/thirteen_ways_of_looking
Matías Serra Delmar’s work takes references from the raw materials found encircling construction sites in fast-growing cities across the world, to create both indoor and outdoor installations. For this exhibition the artist has created different site-specific installations in and around the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum. The idea behind this is to break up the exhibition space and decentre the spectator from the usual way that the gallery space is utilised.
This exhibition borrows from Stevens’ approach, bringing together existing and newly commissioned artworks by thirteen artists and curators. Their working practices bring forward international, multicultural, multi-faith and feminist perspectives which shift very much like those of the blackbird in the poem.
Thirteen Ways of Looking explores different strategies of resistance that overlap and intersect in the physical spaces of the gallery and digitally online. They challenge where art belongs, where it’s experienced and who is being addressed.
The participating artists and curators are: Hira Butt, Eddie Chambers, Sonya Dyer, Andreana Fatta, Hyphen-Labs, Navi Kaur, Shama Khanna, Roshini Kempadoo, Shiyi Li, Farwa Moledina, Keith Piper, Donald Rodney and Matías Serra Delmar.
