Ruth Buchanan at Shimmer
Shimmer, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
10 February —
01 June 2018
With In Moment I | Ever Shimmer presents their first moment of wavering and shifting endeavors.
Ruth Buchanan’s chain curtain Staunch, IN and break, break, break (2018) simultaneously reveals, obscures, and slips from our fingers. Buchanan is a New Zealand artist living in Berlin whose work is primarily concerned with the various systems at play in the production of culture such as libraries, collections, and artistic practice itself. Her process often begins in the archive, where case studies, artefacts, or works by other artists act as departure points for an interrogation of art as a discourse of organising, narrating, and problematising the world in which we live. She develops site and material specific strategies that include performance, sculpture, text, spatial structures, audio, film, textiles, and graphics.
