New York-based French artist Camille Henrot works across sculpture, drawing and video exploring global links between the construction of knowledge and its relationship to haptic experience. Recent film and video works explore the connection of the artists’ studio to the museum, the evolution of culture and systems of knowledge, drawing on anthropology and social archaeology. Featuring Grosse Fatigue 2013, an ambitious video that attempts to tell the story of the universe’s creation from a computer desktop and using the collection of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC for which she received the Silver Lion at 55th Venice Biennale. The screening is presented in partnership with Chisenhale Gallery, to coincide with Henrot‘s first solo exhibition in the UK and will be followed by a discussion between the artist and Dan Fox, Co-Editor of frieze magazine.
