Brigitte Jurack: Rising Darkness, Floor Mosaic Workshops

Rising Darkness
Brigitte Jurack

Exhibition

Brigitte Jurack presents a suite of drawings, objects, writings and the design for a new floor mosaic. Challenged by current affairs, literature, landscape and European history, the stark work engages with memories of military occupations, imperial landgrabs and land reclamations.

Drop-in Workshops

As part of the ‘Rising Darkness’ exhibition by Brigitte Jurack there are opportunities to join the artist in making a shared mosaic. Historical evidence suggests that major mosaic schemes were undertaken by teams of people who shared the time-consuming task of slowly laying out the design on the floors of domestic houses, temples or assembly halls. This new mosaic is inspired by an unswept floor found in a Roman villa in Aquileia but is politicised to include modern debris and specially trained landmine-sniffing rats.
