The North America Office of Duesseldorf Tourism and Duesseldorf Airport announce: “Vibrant Matter” – New Art Exhibit by Corin Sworn in Duesseldorf
Düsseldorf, Germany (PRWEB) September 29, 2014 -- The work by Corin Sworn presented at the new solo show titled “Vibrant Matter” at Düsseldorf’s Langen Foundation (September 29, 2014 – February 22, 2015) is a result of the artist’s extensive research at the archives of the Herbarium of Scotland’s Royal Botanical Gardens, especially the natural dying properties of plants.
The exhibit’s central body of work is a sequence of monochrome silk dyes created from extracts of plants like goldenrod or onion. The colors’ varied spectrum and wide range is driven by constant change that is an inherent quality of nature rather than by artistic control. In this way, her art becomes a medium for the expression of natural processes – vibrant matter -- hence the title. A selection of the plants used in Sworn’s work accompanies the exhibit – either displayed as dried specimens or as digital photographs.
Two works in the exhibition are a stark contrast to the artist’s focus on nature’s processes, as they refer to the production of a synthetic drug, e.g., the digital print “An Abandoned Crystal Meth Lab.”
Düsseldorf’s tourism office is offering hotel and city specials for many of the city’s art events throughout 2014, including “Vibrant Matter.” The package, called “Düsseldorf à la Card,” can be booked right from the tourism office’s website at https://www.duesseldorf-tourismus.de/en/hotel-packages/duesseldorf-a-la-card/.
