Open studio…

3rd of May 2013 by Christina

Along with all the other art goodies on show over this coming weekend, Maeshelle West-Davies will be opening her studio doors for the first time.

One of the pieces she will be showing is a collaboration with Croatian artist Anita Kontrec. Based on one of the world’s greatest literary works, the diary of a 11th century Japanese lady in waiting, Kontrec’s piece was comprised of 20 pieces of fabric (10 x 1.5 meters) hung to create a dream landscape. The piece kept growing and took on a life of its own.  Maeshelle’s film recreates an experience in which two dancers were placed in the space and left to react to it.

When: The video premières at The First Settlers exhibition during the Spinnerei Rundgang, HALLE 14B on the 4th & 5th May 2013.
