Lucy Raven: Rounds

The Curve gallery will be transformed with a kinetic light sculpture by Northern American video artist Lucy Raven. Ispired by rotating objects that use centrifugal force, Raven’s sculpture spins an electronic arm, sweeping light around an aluminium and concrete enclosure. Also on show will be her film Murderers Bar, which is the final part of her series The Drumfire. Through four moving images, Raven captures the the biggest dam removal and river restoration project in US history. A landscape in flux, videos show how the dam, the immense reservoir behind it, and the river now coursing through both, are transformed. Both works are a meditation on the cyclical violence, and unrelenting force, that were used in the formation of the Western United States.
