Francesco Pedraglio, Spoken Sculpture No. 4

fig-futures, WEEK 4 / PATRICK COYLE AND FRANCESCO PEDRAGLIO

Wed 3 October 2018 - Sun 7 October 2018

Kettle's Yard House and Gallery

Across four weeks Kettle’s Yard will present a programme of quick-fire exhibitions, each lasting for only one week.
New performances and installations by Patrick Coyle and Francesco Pedraglio take place in week four. Coyle and Pedraglio have developed ambitious complementary projects through long-distance conversations from their current homes in New York and Mexico City respectively.

The artists’ new works are activated through live spoken word performances during the opening event on 2 October. Coyle is creating an installation in the Sackler Gallery depicting residential spaces, including household objects and large-scale textile prints of domestic interiors. In Gallery 2, Pedraglio continues his ongoing series of Spoken Sculpture, with a new installation that draws together objects and materials that he has made alongside works from Kettle’s Yard’s collection, activated through spoken word.

fig-futures is a project supported by Arts Council England, Art Fund, and Outset and follows the major project fig-2 in which 50 projects were presented across 50 weeks at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London in 2015. fig-futures takes the one-week exhibition structure along with fig-2 alumni artists to four venues across the UK including Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool; Kettle’s Yard; The Gallery at De Montfort University, Leicester; and Plymouth Arts Centre.
