Nastja Säde Rönkkö, the third recipient of the Below Zero Finnish Art Prize, investigates relationships between the digital era, power, humanity and the future of our planet. For this commission she will develop three new moving image works on site, produced with Beaconsfield under the working title salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. Beaconsfield is in ‘Factory’ mode, with sculpture construction complete, the artist’s script in progress followed by Nastja filming (in the gallery and various sites across London) late February and installation leading up to the exhition opening in mid March.
BEACONSFIELD AND THE WILD ESCAPE
Beaconsfield is part of The Wild Escape, a major new project uniting hundreds of museums and galleries with schools and families to connect to the natural world in their local habitats. We will be working with local families and school children, ceramic artist Phoebe Collings-James and Rachael Nilssen of Mud Gang Pottery Studio, to contribute to re-wilding Kennington/Vauxhall while thinking about the role that earth or clay plays in our ecologies. These themes will be expanded in a public talk with Professor Kathryn Yusoff, author of A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None (2019).
