Blos­soms, art and re­spon­si­bi­li­ty: the ex­hi­bi­ti­on “Re­bec­ca Loui­se Law — Tran­s­cend” at Got­torf Cast­le

Re­bec­ca Loui­se Law

(Name of the exhibition in the original language)

Bri­tish ar­tist Re­bec­ca Loui­se Law com­bi­nes na­tu­re and art in spec­ta­cu­lar in­stal­la­ti­ons that not on­ly be­gui­le the sen­ses but al­so con­vey poe­tic mes­sa­ges. At the Mu­se­um of Art and Cul­tu­ral Histo­ry Schloss Got­torf, Law is show­ing an im­pres­si­ve coll­ec­tion of over 750,000 dried flowers ar­ran­ged in­to a lar­ge-sca­le flo­ral in­stal­la­ti­on en­tit­led “The Ar­chi­ve”. Vi­si­tors can im­mer­se them­sel­ves in a sen­so­ry jour­ney th­rough the histo­ry of her work and ex­pe­ri­ence how each stem and each blos­som crea­tes a nar­ra­ti­ve about growth, ch­an­ge and tran­si­ence.

Re­bec­ca Loui­se Law al­ways works in dia­lo­gue wi­th lo­cal peo­p­le: plants are spe­ci­al­ly grown, har­ve­s­ted and pro­ces­sed tog­e­ther, re­sul­ting not on­ly in works of art, but al­so in en­coun­ters and awa­re­ness of the clo­se con­nec­tion bet­ween our li­ves and na­tu­re. As you walk th­rough her in­stal­la­ti­ons, you can sen­se the scent of dried flowers and re­co­g­ni­se the be­au­ty and vul­nerabi­li­ty of na­tu­re — and our re­spon­si­bi­li­ty to pre­ser­ve it. The ex­hi­bi­ti­on in­vi­tes you to dis­co­ver art that trans­forms spaces and rai­ses awa­re­ness of the en­vi­ron­ment.
