what rot: anya gallaccio and chantal akerman in london

July 10, 2008  4:51 pm

Classic still-life painters used organic material as subject matter to capture the beauty and heighten viewers’ awareness of the fragility of life. Anya Gallaccio achieves the same paradoxical ends by bringing products such as organic chocolate, sugar, and fresh fruit into the gallery. The juxtaposition of the decaying and withering of the natural materials and the steadfast nature of the precious metals and other conventional art media that Gallacio uses illustrates life’s fleeting pleasures. Beginning tomorrow at the Camden Arts Centre in London, new work by Gallacio is paired with two installations and screenings of classic films by legendary director Chantal Akerman. Both artists are fascinated by the passage of time and our futile efforts to arrest it—catch this exhibit before the opportunity dies away.
