The EY Exhibition The Making of Rodin 2021

Alternative Audio Guide contribution

The Making of Rodin at the Tate Modern looked at Rodin’s experimental approach to making and how he challenged norms and structures for his time. To explore this further, and contextualise the work, the Tate interviewed 6 contemporary artists, makers and activists to look at how artists continue to disrupt ways of working today to create an audio guide.

Artists included Phyllida Barlow, Dan Daw, Grace Nicol, Giovanna Petrocchi, Thomas J Price and Jala Wahid.

Turbine explores the idea of “I” and the “not-I”. It was edited in real time using a propeller mirror which allows the viewpoint to flick between the two performers at opposite ends of the room.

Marked/ Mark Making / Making a Mark was a collaboration between artists Grace Nicol and Composer William Green. This durational installation stretches the frame of performance; from the process before, through the moment of action, onwards. The process, through repetition, creates two sets of documentation of the practice (sound and mark making).

Originally created for the V&A, in response to the architectural and artistic context of the museum, I Only Laugh to Keep from Weeping, draws from the Vanitas Movement to explore how the concepts of beauty, excess, loss and ecstasy impact on the body in performance.

Slip Mould Slippery explored the violence of the troubling object/body distinction. The live work considers how the specificity of Becky Namgaud’s female body, layered with the lifecast shape of Sinead’s muse’s body, can stand in for all female bodies and find power within the collective notion of self – body, object and experience.

Balloons played with the notion of the female nude and female sexuality as depicted in museum spaces. As well as the power and hierarchy of objects in these spaces over the live body.
