Soup Session by Marianne Vierø
invited by research group Thinking Tools
Tuesday 19 March 2024, 12:30-14:00
at the Research Room, Academy
Driven by equal parts intuition and analysis, the work of Marianne Vierø emerges from the understanding that the objects of our surroundings reflect not just the curves and planes of their own surfaces, but also the expectations we project onto them. Despite their defined outlines they are, as such, fluid forms that transpire a multiplicity of meaning and reveal existing premises and hidden biases in our systems of understanding.
During her residency with Thinking Tools, Marianne Vierø will experiment with various ways of interlacing representation with materiality. She will work in the black and white photo lab of the Royal Academy to develop a set of hand-colored photograms that genuinely and poetically capture and portray the form, process and material of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. She will use a group of recently developed sculptures as subjects for the photograms.
