Cristina Beth - Legends of the Everyday
February 9 2013 - March 6 2013
Cristina's work starts with the collection of discarded objects and materials from inorganic rubbish piles. The object that has become most representative of this reclamation for her is the fabric mattress cover. Once intimately private, then public and disowned, the mattress cover retains traces of wear and tear, traces of bodies, traces of absent identities, they represent a site where life and art, materiality and social form intersect.

16 January – 28 February 2013
