In the winter of 2020 two artists β one a sculptor, one not β interviewed people in their homes about the things they keep around them. This series of five audio works weave the interviews with archival recordings of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth to explore the idea of sculpture in the home and our very human responses to matter and material.
Conversation Pieces are made by James Prevett and Annie May Demozay
James Prevett makes things to gather around - objects, events, text, video- that are often combined together as sculpture. He likes to work with other people and is interested in sculpture as means to explore the limits of minds and bodies, both personal and collective. James lives and works in Helsinki, Finland where he is a Sculpture Lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts of Uniarts Helsinki.
Annie May Demozay is an artist and writer who lives in Glasgow and works in a park.
Conversation Pieces forms part of a wider research project by Prevett- Things for Homes / Homes for Things - that explores our relationship to objects and sculpture in the home. The project was commissioned by TACO! , and supported by the Henry Moore Foundation, the Finnish Institute for the UK and Ireland, and Grand Union.
