Cell Project Space

Teatro Grottesco presents works by Elizabeth Wright in Cell Project Space’s reading room, its connecting office, and entryway leading to the gallery. These smaller, functional spaces provide context for the display of the artist’s past and recent sculptures; copies of phone directories that have been reduced in size, and oversized aluminium drinks cans. By altering the scale of everyday objects, Wright continually uses printing and modelling technologies to experiment with forms of compression and optical flattening in her practice. 

 

Elizabeth Wright is an artist / copyist and Reader in Social Sculpture. Born in London where she currently lives and works. She studied at Birmingham Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art. A line of her enquiry is how the intersection of digital and physical sculpture can be used as a space for democratic arts practice. Fostering an open model, working within both formal and informal learning environments she has co-researched with the collectives, Grounds to Play, Digital Markers and Reverso; realising projects with local and international communities of children, playworkers, schools and cultural institutions.

 

“When asked to describe Teatro Grottesco, a representative replied, ‘You can never anticipate the Teatro – or anything else.’”
