Explore systems of measurement and create unique spaces through play, performance, printing and sculpture

Led by Argentinian artist Martin Cordiano with BalinHouseProjects, House Taken Over explores how the development of systems of measurement in the UK was established by monarchs using their own bodies as an official reference.

Drop in throughout the weekend to explore space and measurement across three hubs of artist-led activities – performance, printing and sculpture.

This event is programmed by Freelands Foundation a Tate Exchange Associate.

    Pacing the Cell: Walking and Productivity in the Work of Bruce Nauman

    Ruth Burgon

    After graduating from art school in the late 1960s Bruce Nauman found himself pacing his studio, unsure how to produce work as a professional artist. Out of this practice arose several films and videos recording these performances of studio pacing. This paper draws upon Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish (1975, translated into English 1977) to shed light upon the aesthetic of confinement and incarceration found in Nauman’s use of the walking body in this early work.
