prison, palace

This was a site-responsive intervention drawing on my residency at Margate Museum, T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” and the historical site of the Museum itself. Formerly a town hall, a police station, and magistrate’s court, and, at the time of the exhibition, an incongruous assemblage of objects and documents, the artworks operated as another, inconvenient scenario of sorts, which aimed to pose questions around memory and erasure in that semi-erased place of past places. 

This was an event organised as part of the programme of events in response to Turner Contemporary’s invitation to create work inspired Eliot’s text and connected to Turner Contemporary’s exhibition Journeys with the Waste Land.

My mixed media installation in a police cell required the perspective of inside-out (looking out, from within, rather than into and onto the works).

Installation in the former Court Room included new and existing artworks by Cecilia Bonilla, Joanna Rajkowska, Alicja Rogalska, Justyna Scheuring, Eva Stenram and my own (collage, video, performance, photography and print-based interventions).
