In Memory Horizon Carolyn Eskdale presents new work that responds to the modernist architecture of Heide Modern — formerly a domestic house commissioned by Heide founders John and Sunday Reed as ‘a gallery to be lived in’ — and that activates the house as its own cast object.
After spending time ‘inhabiting’ the building and making ephemeral installations in each of its seven rooms, Eskdale has developed a sculptural language of motifs and forms specific to its character and history. This in-situ work and documentation is incorporated into the exhibition itself, as she explores the history of Heide II as a domestic and public space, the interstices between private and public life, and the overlap between the studio and the gallery.
The exhibition is current to 27 September 2020.
