Sunday Morning with Meghan Clarke
|Sunday 19 May 2024, 11-12.30

Please join us on Sunday 19 May for a slow and rhythmic morning exploring the connection between textiles, storytelling and sound with artist Meghan Clarke. She will share excerpts of her current work, Between Was And Am, which uses the act of undoing and reordering the threads in a piece of cloth to create a rhythm and forum for sharing stories crafted from field recordings, musical compositions and poetry. You are invited to participate and lend your own rhythm to the work by engaging in your own repetitive task - we will have some material available for you to work with, or you can bring your own. There will be a short introduction around 11:15 but please feel free to stop by at any time.

SUNDAY MORNINGS WITH... is an event-based project that aims to tease out hidden connections, quiet conversations, and influences ordinarily kept private. Far from articulating artworks through just the verbal, the program aims to create an environment where bodies, materials, ideas, and conversations come together, as a place to seed new ideas for both artistic practices and the community that surround Shimmer.

MEGHAN CLARKE is a Scottish artist based in Rotterdam. She works between textiles, text, sound and performance. Her work is concerned with collecting, occupying and rearranging time. Engaging in slow and meticulous processes of undoing and reordering she creates intricate tapestries from found and foraged materials - textiles, text, a cardboard box, a fragment of sound.  Her repetitive processes are a subtle act of defiance, a form of non-productive productivity that elongates the in-between moments, creating time for lingering and uncertainty.
