Join us for a first look at New York based Italian artist Beatrice Scaccia's developing work, “Little Gloating Eve”. The evolution of an ongoing body of work, this installation acts as an immersion into the human condition, inviting us into the world of Eve, Scaccia's central character. Rendering gestures ranging from the banal to the absurd - cooking, dancing, listening to music, jumping, eating flowers - Scaccia uses the faceless Eve, masked in layers of clothing, to closely emulate and isolate dozens of movements, each one set on an endless loop. The forms taken by Eve - fixed in the pattern of a wallpaper, the repetition of an animated gif or the edges of a drawing - converge into an echo chamber of human nature. “Little Gloating Eve” reflects both our freedom to act as well as the absurdity of how we spend our time, creating a world of complete abandon that is stripped down to simple borrowed actions.
Scaccia will present a rendering of “Little Gloating Eve and discuss her most recent work, which began while in residency with RU.
