MOSTYN in collaboration with David Roberts Art Foundation (DRAF) is hosting a group exhibition “She sees the shadows” curated by Olivia Leahy (DRAF) and Adam Carr (MOSTYN).“She sees the shadows” is a group exhibition with works by Caroline Achaintre, Horst Ademeit, Fiona Banner, Sara Barker, Phyllida Barlow, Neil Beloufa, David Birkin, Karla Black, Carol Bove, Martin Boyce, Boyle Family, Lea Cetera, Susan Collis, Thomas Demand, Jason Dodge, Theaster Gates, Isa Genzken, Rodney Graham, Harry Gruyaert, Jeppe Hein, Marine Hugonnier, Pierre Huyghe, Matthew Day Jackson, Tatsuya Kimata, Rachel Kneebone, Elad Lassry, Bob Law, Nina Beier & Marie Lund, Kris Martin, Marlie Mul, Nika Neelova, Man Ray, Magali Reus, Pietro Roccasalva, Analia Saban, Erin Shirreff, Monika Sosnowska, Oscar Tuazon, Gavin Turk, Franz West, and Douglas White from the David Roberts Collection that resonate with the ideas found in the book “Space and Sight,” by Marius Von Senden.Each artist has reconceived day-to-day objects and materials in unexpected ways — a bench, plug socket, grate, section of railing or broom — and invites viewers to see alternative qualities and narratives therein.“Some artists have used precious materials to confer value to unremarkable commonplace objects. Susan Collis’ paint-splattered broom is inlaid with mother-of-pearl; Lea Cetera’s disposable coffee cup is cast in ceramic; Tatsuya Kimata’s generic plug socket is carved from white marble; Kris Martin’s wall screw is solid gold; Gavin Turk’s cardboard box is cast in bronze; and Rachel Kneebone’s eggbox is filled with delicate porcelain. Meticulous trompe l’oeil studies of grimy undistinguished patches of a city street, including puddles, broken tiles and railings, focus attention onto the unnoticed fabric of daily life,” the gallery says.Stories and ideologies infiltrate the private sphere through different media channels. Isa Genzken’s “Weltempfanger (World Receiver)” points to the domestic radio’s influential role in both propaganda and resistance.Rodney Graham’s couple reading a comic magazine in bed enact a popular sketch in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1938 film “The Lady Vanishes.”Theaster Gates places a charged 1970’s journal article “The Black Bourgeoisie” in the seat of a piano stool.Harry Gruyaert’s TV shots capture the constant news stories and dramas of 1970s color television sets.Neil Beloufa carves a constellation of floating cats into compressed wood and power sockets, the ubiquitous trope of online videos and memes streamed into contemporary homes.DRAF (David Roberts Art Foundation) is an independent, non-profit organization for contemporary art.
