Elizabeth Price. Sound of the Break | SCHIRN INTERVIEW

Eliz­a­beth Price (*1966) macht die Trans­for­ma­tio­nen des Digi­ta­len sicht­bar. Die Bewegt­bild-Künst­le­rin kompo­niert Bild, Text und Sound zu Raum­in­stal­la­tio­nen, die kultu­relle und sozio-poli­ti­sche Bege­ben­hei­ten neu insze­nie­ren und wenig beach­tete Geschich­ten in den Fokus nehmen. Die SCHIRN präsen­tiert eine große Einzel­aus­stel­lung der Turner-Preis­trä­ge­rin mit neuen und erst­mals in Deutsch­land gezeig­ten Werken.
Eliz­a­beth Price (b. 1966) makes the trans­for­ma­tion of digital works visible. The artist creates moving images, composing visuals, text, and sound to form spatial instal­la­tions that restage cultural and sociopo­lit­ical events and focus atten­tion on largely unno­ticed stories. The SCHIRN is presenting a major solo exhi­bi­tion of this winner of the Turner Prize, including both new works and others that are being shown for the first time in Germany.

"Arthood in its current form is only capable of producing what amounts to ineffable objects of increasingly internal complexity. Artist Elisabeth Price's tragic statement in relation to her own practice is a testament to this: "I am kind of working intentionally at, to (sic) try and make dense, complex things." -JCHP p193, Exit Exhibition. A Donation to a Critique of the Artworld.

And why is it an issue that she is working to do that? Different artists have different visions for how they want their art to be perceive, many artists want their work to appear simple and many want it to appear complex - there is no better of the two in my opinion. I would say the apparent 'complexity' of Price's practice works in its favour and adds an element of engagement to the work beyond surface level appearances.
