Brigitta Varadi “Markings”
Westbeth Gallery
This event has ended.
Through her work, Brigitta Varadi explores pattern and repetition of gesture that relate to the invisible and everyday rituals of working life and the constructed environment. Her projects combine painting, textile, video and public interventions. Váradi’s works bear affinities with socially committed art, but they were not created in the name of political activism. Instead, she examines the disappearing traditions and daily activities of small, secluded communities around the world: her grandmother mopping up her kitchen floor several times a day, the “liberty” tea made by inhabitants of New York State and the marking system of the dwindling community of shepherds in Ireland. Research always plays a key factor in her creative process, for instance taking pictures and recording videos, and her finished works often necessitate experimentation with an entirely new technique.
