| Abstract or Description: | The second Bloomberg Commission at Whitechapel Gallery presents a major new work by Claire Barclay between May 2010 - May 2011. Claire Barclay is a leading figure in a generation of young sculptors who have re-engaged with craft techniques and the symbolic resonance of materials. The architectural mix of the East End with its dark cobbled alleyways, and patchwork of Georgian townhouse and modern buildings are refracted into her sculptural installation. Door and window-like forms create the basis for structures around which fabrics and objects are gathered. Top hats, the fingers of gloves, bird cages and glinting fetishistic metal give clues to the world outside and to the lives lived behind closed doors. Barclay has created a complex space for peeking around corners and for being observed. During the year Barclay's installation will be animated by a series of dance performances by leading dancers and choreographers including Henrietta Hale, Siobhan Davies Dance, Will Tuckett and Rosemary Butcher. |
