| Abstract: | Expanded Interiors Re-Staged Commission, Hatton Gallery, Newcastle, 2021 This installation was set in the context of Catrin Huber's re-staging of her three installations, Expanded Interiors, initially conceived and exhibited in two Roman houses in Pompeii and Herculaneum, 2018. I was Research Assistant on Catrin Huber's 2017-19 AHRC funded interdisciplinary research project, working alongside Huber and a team of Archeologists. Expanded Interiors Re-Staged was an AHRC Follow-On project where I was invited to create a new commission, reinterpreting this interdisciplinary research, alongside Huber’s installations and new work. The exhibition re-situated Huber’s installations in a new context: Newcastle, which has historical Roman links, and a contemporary art gallery with distinctive neo-classical architecture. The work In / out / of this world was a pivotal one in my practice: for the first time inserting new art historical and personal domestic contexts in to a gallery, as opposed to creating a site specific installation informed purely by the immediate site itself. The installation investigated the theatricality of Roman architectural design and decoration as highlighted by the Expanded Interiors research team, dramatising and choreographing contrasting experiences across spatial thresholds. In contrast to the neighbouring rooms, I playfully reimagined a small, warm and dimly lit space, with domestic-scale illusions of incisions and openings through painting, sculptural diorama, manipulated photography, enlarged pastel drawing and painting, and filmic projection. Borrowing from the principles of Roman Wall painting, in particular third style, these tactics reference trompe l’oeil incisions, layered decorations, vistas and architectures, negotiating an exchange between the viewer, artist, and real and imagined space. They also expanded through contemporary practice the multiple visual languages showcased within Roman artefacts, informed by the vibrancy of cultural exchange. Additionally, against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and being a new parent, the commission also inserted more personal and domestic themes and perceptions of space, relating to Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novella, The Yellow Wall Paper, such as speeds of perception, entrapment and childhood memory. Individual works: Sunlit walls, enlarged pastel prints on hung paper, various sizes, total size 19m 48cm x 395cm; Curtains, oil on canvas, 122 x 190cm; This chamber of mine, plywood box, mirrored acrylic, mount board, obeche, primer, wire, rocking horse, LED light and clear acrylic plinth; From where I sit, photographic print on Hahnemuhle Bamboo, 14 x 21cm; Threshold, mapped projection and printed vinyl, various sizes, total size 818cm x 400cm x 285cm, 2021 | ||||

| Additional Information: | Expanded Interiors was an interdisciplinary research project that investigated Roman houses and drew site-specific contemporary fine art practice into a unique dialogue with ancient Roman wall paintings and architectural remains at the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Artist Catrin Huber developed three installations in dialogue with - and for - two Roman houses: the House of the Cryptoporticus in Pompeii, and the House of the Beautiful Courtyard in Herculaneum. These installations were on display in situ from May 2018 until January 2019. https://research.ncl.ac.uk/expandedinteriors/ Expanded Interiors Re-Staged relocates these contemporary installations from Roman houses in the south of Italy to Newcastle’s Hatton Gallery. The principle question of Expanded Interiors, was how the principles of Roman Wall Painting can have relevance for contemporary art practice. Catrin Huber has developed new work to set the installations in a fresh dialogue with this distinctive architecture in a new contemporary art context. Rosie Morris, an artist and part of the original Expanded Interiors research team, has been commissioned to develop her own contemporary installation in response to the research done within the Roman houses, and the new venue. | ||||
