In Gallery Two Nottingham Contemporary are currently presenting the first solo exhibition in a UK institution of Peruvian artist Claudia Martínez Garay. This major new commission celebrates the artist's unique perspective and diverse practice with an ambitious site-specific installation in our largest gallery space.
In this walkthrough, Nastassja Simensky will guide you through an exploration of archaeological replicas, facsimiles, and props to think about how artefacts circulate, and the narratives and economies built through them. This walkthrough responds to Claudia Martinez Garay's exhibition, WAKCHAKUNA / We Who Share Everything and Nothing.
Nastassja Simensky uses fieldwork to explore and understand how complex issues between land, heritage, power and governance are crystallised in specific geographies. Nastassja works with artists and non-artists including fishermen, archaeologists, powerplant workers, musicians, and ham radio enthusiasts to make authored and co-authored artworks. Previous artworks include place-specific performances on a cockle boat in the Thames Estuary, limestone quarries, and a 7th Century chapel; soundworks for radio; installation; films.
Nastassja coordinates the Archaeology-Heritage-Art Research Network. By engaging with the politics, methods, and processes of archaeology Nastassja reflects on the discipline of archaeology itself, as one of a range of modes of knowledge production that can inform embedded place-specific, experimental, and collaborative art practices.
