Rebecca Key: Archetype

SEPTEMBER 10 - OCTOBER 15, 2010

Transformer is proud to present Liverpool, UK based artist Rebecca Key in her first US solo exhibition.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Rebecca creates installations that question the creative process and explore the background narrative of artists, artworks and galleries. In her work she references buildings where galleries are housed, their social contexts and their associated preconceptions.

With Archetype, Rebecca investigates the design of Transformer's gallery space, and the worldwide use of white walls and grey floors to create gallery spaces. An accomplished Art Director for British film and television, Rebecca will apply set dressing techniques used in her professional career to look at how Transformer may have once appeared in its previous form. Taking reference from the exterior walls of the buildings surrounding Transformer, one of Transformer's gallery walls will be layered with specialized paint techniques, textures and props, to appear like the alleyway it once was.
