Céline Condorelli: After Work

Tessa Giblin's curation of After Work brought together a number of key installations and artworks by Céline Condorelli, all of which were altered and adapted to the particularities and peculiarities of Talbot Rice's galleries. Condorelli's work has remained committed to the experience of transformation. From raw materials, cultivation, and extraction, to processes of industrialisation and labour, through to methods of display, reception and transmission, her practice closely communicates the methods and labour of its creation.

Céline Condorelli is an extraordinarily versatile artist and the driving creative force behind two decades of artworks, exhibitions, workshops, public spaces, books and institutions; consistently proving that the reception of objects and artworks are never immune to the conditions of their display. Tessa Giblin's curatorial work situated the diversity of Condorelli's work within a complex sixteenth-century university, including Edinburgh College of Art (home to Art, Music, Design, Art History, Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Talbot Rice Gallery) and through an understanding of friendship as one of the many support structures universally shared. This exhibition was deeply attuned to the public agency at play within the physical, economic, social structures of art.
