What remains... Anatomy of an artist : Being Mr X

by Michaela Ross, Josip Lizatovic, Gilbert Ratcliff and Olga Masleinnikova

21-22 May 2016
Siobhan Davies Studios, London, UK

Presentation of the work of Mr X, an artist resident at the Bethlem Royal Hospital. His improvised structures document the endless process of adjustment which occurs as he recalibrates his relationship to the spaces of the institution. Mr X uses his own body to determine the scale of each work, using arm and leg measurements as basic units, operating within the constraints (visible and invisible) imposed on him by the space and staff. Documentation of the making process with Mr X will be on display throughout the building.

From me, For you, About you:
Dynamics and Principles of Transformation  (2013-2017)

This research is the next level of my work about transformation. I am investigating the ambiguous notion of Energy and the interrelationship between the human psyche and human movement. In this ongoing, psychophysical experiment I explore the notions of intuition, awareness, collective, individual, general, specific, visible, invisible.  I listen to my questions to develop a methodology of intuitive enquiry.
