Tour of the exhibition 'The Humility of Plaster' with Florian Roithmayr
Fri 5 October 2018
Kettle's Yard House and Gallery
Join artist Florian Roithmayr for a tour of his display in the Edlis Neeson Research Space at Kettle’s Yard, before moving on to his exhibition at the Museum of Classical Archaeology.
Please be aware that there will be a 25 minute walk between venues.
Meet at Kettle’s Yard, Castle Street at 2pm. The tour will finish at the Museum of Classical Archaeology Sidgwick Ave, Cambridge CB3 9DA.
Florian Roithmayr’s Humility of Plaster is a two-year research and exhibition project exploring the materiality of collections housing plaster moulds and casts across Europe, enabled through a new partnership between the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Kettle’s Yard, and Wysing Arts Centre where Roithmayr has a studio.
Moulding and casting are widely used techniques of modern and contemporary art making. Their use and application can be found beyond the disciplinary art canon, in areas not immediately associated with art practices, and in times before casting became an acceptable form of sculptural production in its own right.
Roithmayr has developed a new body of sculptures in response to this research that is presented amongst the collection of plaster casts of classical works at the Museum of Classical Archaeology. His research will be presented in the research space at Kettle's Yard.
