An ongoing relationship
Nina Beier is a firm favourite of the David Roberts Art Foundation. This is the fourth time in six years they have exhibited the Danish-born, London-based, artist. The chief curator, Vincent Honore, is seriously taken by the way Beier is able to create new meanings by translating objects seamlessly from one context to another.
The Exhibition
For this new show Beier will unveil her 2014 work Tileables. The gargantuan sculpture consists of 125 individual, square-metre ceramic tiles that dominate the gallery space. Each tile is printed with a pattern that corresponds to a texture used in 3-D modelling software that is used to digitally imitate surfaces like gravel or sand. By taking the ‘tiles’ literally, and reproducing them on such an absurd scale, Beier toys with the language of the digital and exposes its sometimes tenuous relationship to the physical world.
Beier is undoubtedly one of the most playful artists working in London at the moment, this show will be as entertaining as well as engaging.
