Mechanical Bodies and Dissected Detritus (HOLLY HENDRY)

Guest artist HOLLY HENDRY joins ELIZABETH FULLERTON to chat about her work via Tom McCarthy's 2005 novel 'Remainder' in which the nameless narrator must re-learn body movements after a debilitating accident. He is awarded a ridiculous sum in compensation which he uses to re-enact past happenings in microscopic detail, increasingly absurd and violent in nature. Holly is a lot more pleasant. However, she is also compelled to open up the surface of objects to discover what's inside. How things work. And when that cannot be done physically, it is explored as an idea.  Elizabeth and Holly discuss her major recent, current and upcoming exhibitions: Jan 2022 solo exhibition at Stephen Friedman Gallery, London 29 May - 12 Nov 2021 'Invertebrate' De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill May 2021 - Mar 2023 group exhibition 'Breaking The Mould, Sculpture by Women since 1945 An Arts Council Collection Touring Exhibition, for venues refer to artscouncilcollection.org.uk/exhibition/breaking-mould-sculpture-women-1945 Oct - Mar 2022 group exhibition 'Beano: The Art of Breaking the Rules' Somerset House, London 19 May - 30 Aug 2021 'Indifferent Deep' De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill Sep 2019 - Apr 2020 'The Dump Is Full of Images' Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield   HOLLY HENDRY hollyhendry.com instagram h.ollyh.endry stephenfriedmangallery.com ARTISTS & DESIGNERS Andy Holden Astrida Neimanis Helen Turner, E-Werk Luckenwalde, Berlin Isamu Noguchi Le Corbusier Louise Bourgeois  Rebecca Horn BOOKS & AUTHORS Albert Camus 'The Stranger' Beatriz Colomina 'X Rays in Architecture' Eric Carle 'The Very Hungry Catepillar' J G Ballard 'The Drowned World' Maggie Nelson Miles Orvell 'The Real Thing' Rebecca Tamas 'Strangers : Essays on the Human and Nonhuman' Tom McCarthy 'C' GALLERIES & ASSOCIATES De La Warr Pavilion Liverpool Bienniel Professor Parick Goswami, University of Huddersfield Royal College of Art Selfridges Somerset House Stephen Friedman Gallery The Baltic The International Necronautical Society Whitehall Fabrications Yorkshire Sculpture Park FILMS & PERFORMERS Buster Keaton Pauline Oliveros Robert De Niro 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'
