Maria Barnas
In her poetry, sculptures and films, Maria Barnas examines the concrete aspects of language and the way that we connect things with words. Song for three rooms is an installation with glass objects and sound, based on the idea of formulation and perception as an extended and fragmented form of exploration. Stuttering, sometimes flowing, Maria Barnas lets us hear TR-EYE-ING: a single word that spans three spaces.
Origins
Together with Song for three rooms, the museum is showing Barnas’ film Origins (2016) in which she presents dialogues between sculptures that were given rounded openings for different reasons and in different eras. Origins is a film about artists and what they require from their work and from the world, with Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Martin Kippenberger, Alfred Hitchcock and Michel Houellebecq.
Song for three rooms is showing until 31 March 2019.
