British sculptor Clare Twomey (Clare Twomey) works with ceramics, but does not apply to the avant-garde artists whose works are eager to get themselves collectors.Her work has highlighted the fragile, temporary, but their place is not on pedestals or in glass cabinets.In his bold and inventive installations she invites us to look at art with a completely new side.Let's see?
Remember how we propose to consider the ceramics in museums?Typically, they are either hidden behind glass or under a terrible sign, "Do not touch!" But the works of Clare Twomey opposite.For example, her installation «Trophy», presented in 2006 at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, consisted of 4 thousand tiny birds, hand-made from Wedgwood porcelain.Birds were placed directly on the floor of the gallery, and all the five hours they were gone every one, hiding in pockets and bags of visitors.Claire implies that people will carry it with him, though not asked for it to open.Interestingly, in the gallery of the author left a note asking to photograph birds in a new environment and to send her pictures - and subsequently received a lot of pictures from the new owners of her works.
However, Claire Twomey invites not only to carry out her work with him, but to destroy them.Her installation «Consciousness / Conscience» - is a 7000 hollow tiles of bone china, laid out on the floor of the gallery.If on a similar floor was allowed to go to you that to win: the desire to protect the installation or curiosity - whether it will sustain your weight?As shown, has a strong curiosity ...
Among other interesting works of Clare Twomey be called «Blossom» - installation of the 9000 ceramic colors, "planted" in one of the gardens of Cornwall on Christmas Eve;or «A Dark Day in Paradise» - installation of 3 million black butterflies at the Royal Pavilion, devoted to criticism of King George IV.Of course, and flowers, and butterflies made by hand.
