Skratch produces work for Scotland and Venice 2009
Skratch has completed the design of material for Scotland’s representation at the 53rd International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
Curated by Dundee Contemporary Arts, Scotland and Venice 2009 is a partnership project initiated by the Scottish Arts Council, British Council Scotland and National Galleries of Scotland.
Artist Martin Boyce has created a series of installations in the Palazzo Pisani, Venice. Entitled, ‘No Reflections’, the work makes reference to a constructed landscape, and transforms the fading grandeur of the 15th Century Palazzo. Boyce’s show collapses our understanding of interior and exterior space, and echoes the labyrinthine nature of Venice, creating a heightened sense of displacement and abandonment.
Skratch created the overall brand image for ‘No Reflections’ and designed a range of material including posters, private invites, interpretation materials and show publications. The finished work was developed through a period of collaboration between Skratch and Martin Boyce.
The exhibition will runs until November 2009 and will be reconfigured for Dundee Contemporary Arts from 12 December 2009 - 14 February, 2010.
