New photography will celebrate Antunes’s engagement with Fruitmarket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePortuguese, Berlin-based artist Leonor Antunes works with traditions of modernist art, architecture and design through sculpture made and displayed with the specifics of a given place in mind. The forms and materials of her sculptures reference a history of modernism embedded in the work of its less visible protagonists; overlooked, often female, artists and designers. This cast of historical ‘companions’ enters Antunes’ work in enigmatic ways – through an echo of form or measurement, or the replication of a particular knot, hinge, colour or material – infusing it with their spirit and sensibility. Recent research has led Antunes to the work of architect, designer and writer Sadie Speight, whose work included a house in Cumbria for textile designer Alistair Morton of Edinburgh Weavers. Cork, a traditional Portuguese material Antunes has used frequently in her previous work, now has a different resonance for her, inspired by Speight’s extensive use of it in her interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe exhibition includes existing and new work as well as the cork floor, and extends through all the spaces of Fruitmarket – the airy modernism of the Exhibition Galleries and the rough materiality of the Warehouse. It is curated by Briony Fer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardback cover in 2 matt paper finishes, ochre yellow and sienna brown with blind emboss (taken from the floor work here at the Fruitmarket) and black text\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Fruitmarket","offers":[{"title":"Leonor Antunes, Briony Fer","offer_id":53925245878571,"sku":"22877426","price":800.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/casabosques.net\/products\/leonor-antunes-the-apparent-length-of-a-floor-area","provider":"Casa Bosques Librería","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
