Marion Coutts | Claude Heath
Kettle's Yard Artist Fellows
27 September - 2 November 2003
The Kettle's Yard Artist Fellowship is one of the longest standing and most
sought-after artist residencies in Britain, offering artists a sabbatical
year to pursue their own work in Cambridge.
This autumn the incoming artist fellow Marion Coutts will be exhibiting alongside
outgoing fellow Claude Heath.
Marion Coutts
will show recent work involving sculpture and the moving image. Coutts makes
laconic, visionary pieces that shift everyday objects - coins, rings, skittles,
satellite dishes - into a mythic dimension. Among the new work will be 'Money',
2003, an installation of massed pennies apparently breeding on the gallery
floor, and 'Target Nebula', 2003, a used archery target transformed
to resemble an exploded star mass. Also showing will be the short film 'epic',
2000, in which a sculpture of a horse is carried by human bearers through
the streets and gardens of Rome. Marion Coutts will be resident at St. John's
College, Cambridge.

Claude Heath
who has been resident at Christ's College, will show his continuing enquiries into the bridge between perception and depiction. During his time in Cambridge he has worked with the University's aerial photography and astronomy departments, the moving image studio and The Print Studio, Cambridge. He will present a large-scale wall drawing derived from studies of stereoscopic aerial photographs of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis.
