MA Materials and Research Award
Eva Gold (b. 1994, Manchester, UK) works across sculpture, installation, moving image and writing. Her practice is centred around pleasure, positioned at the threshold between feelings of desire and disgust. Gold conjures bodies in states of trauma or quiet violence: fragmented or imagined characters which shape shift through materials and spaces. Bodies as furniture or furniture as bodies. Her methodology takes place through a body of research, which is presently aimed at understanding the structural mechanisms for producing. This study is located within film and cinematic experience, specifically genre, place and affect. By examining genre tropes; character archetypes; camera and editing techniques; Gold structures the various aspects of her practice into a loosely defined narrative framework. Recent exhibitions include Die Wohnung (The Dwelling), SET Project Space, London; Dinner Party, Royal Academy of Arts, London; Let me look at you, Centre for Recent Drawing, London (Solo); Room to Crawl, Becky’s Unit 23 Penarth Centre, London.
