Imposter Syndrome
part of MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS
SWG3, Glasgow International 2016
Imposter Syndrome is a performance examining the relationship between language and material sensation. Three texts about surrogate objects is performed alongsied three comunal actions for the audience gathered around large belfast sinks– Oil Pulling, Charcoal Brushing, and Probiotic Dosing.
MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS was an evening performance of new writing by five artists, Josée Aubin Ouellette, Jennifer Bailey, Suzanne Déry, Aideen Doran, Lauren Hall, and Claire Shallcross, working together to uncover the psychological, emotional, and bodily resonances of ceramics. The readings will touch on the discipline of ceramics and it’s hidden symbolic labour; whether that be as sanitary objects, as a form of materialist self-help in contemporary bourgeois lifestyle trends, or its psychological, social and bodily connections to our unspoken personal, feminist, everyday lives. This project is a collaborative production of a body of work that integrates ceramic sculpture and writing.
The concepts surrounding the work will develop firstly with a one-week period of material and text-based research at Glasgow Sculpture Studios. During this time, the artists will find ways to integrate ceramic processes and writing in association with the experience of working with clay, resulting in the public performance, Mineral Supplements at SWG3 on the 21st April at 8:37pm, to coincide with the sun setting. Over the summer the artists will then undertake an in-depth ceramics residency at Cass Sculpture Foundation using their wood-fired kiln. This will run in partnership with West Dean College and result in an exhibition and publication at SWG3 Gallery in October, 2016, Opening 7th – 21st October, 2016.
This project is a collaborative project between SWG3 and Cass Sculpture Foundation; made possible by Glasgow Sculpture Studios and West Dean College.
