hairpiece - 9.-14. March 2010

“Helen Schoene’s frustration comes with separation from her mother tongue. Her diligent reading calls for ever increasing scrutiny as she grasps for meaning, trying to unpick each word. At her wit’s end, she turns back on herself, clutching at straws, searching through split ends.

Scanning, printing, reprinting, repeating, Schoene transforms the gallery into a site of production, as tresses, clumps and strands creep across the walls. Finding herself at the centre of an irrational web, the snake hair of Medusa emerging from her head, Schoene invites you to unpick the tangled mass with limited edition leporello booklets and jigsaw puzzles.
Please contact me on helen@wurmpea.com if you would like more information or you would like to purchase one of these pieces.

I would like to invite you to Kaleid on 9th March, where I will be showing my Hairpiece as part of scripturacontinua.
Don’t fret if you can’t make it to the performance, but do come along to see my hairy web during the week (10th-14th).
Please find more information below.

Helen Schoene’s frustration comes with separation from her mother tongue. Her diligent reading calls for ever increasing scrutiny as she grasps for meaning, trying to unpick each word. At her wit’s end, she turns back on herself, clutching at straws, searching through split ends.

Scanning, printing, reprinting, repeating, Schoene transforms the gallery into a site of production, as tresses, clumps and strands creep across the walls. Finding herself at the centre of an irrational web, the snake hair of Medusa emerging from her head, Schoene invites you to unpick the tangled mass with limited edition leporello booklets and jigsaw puzzles.

Scriptura Continua refers to the writing of late antiquity in which no inter-word spacing or punctuation was used, with no distinction made between cases. As such, the task of interpreting the text fell to the reader, forced to divide the written string of letters into words. Meaning was only recovered through oralisation as the texts were recited over and over again.

scripturacontinua considers parallels with performance art in terms of ritual, repetition and shared experience. At the invitation of Live Art practitioner and KALEID curator, Katharine Fry, each week a different artist responds to the theme with a live performance and the creation of limited edition residua, inviting the audience to share a realm of private acts and sacred texts.
