Interferences - offiCina, Beijing, China, 2006
April 29th - May 21st 2006 | offiCina - Chaoyang District, Beijing, China
During the 3rd Dashanzi International Art Festiva l- Beijing/Background, offiCina presents a series of photos and details from the project ‘Interferences’ by Varvara Shavrova - a Russian-born, London and Ireland-based artist who is now living and working in Beijing.
The artist’s paintings, drawings and installations reflect on the relationship between landscape, time and memory. Her past and present projects include collaborations with archaeologists in the UK and Ireland and encapsulate the experience of historical and archaeological excavation, layering, revealing, mapping, recording and preserving.
In 2003 Shavrova started her collaboration with archaeologists involved in excavations and research project investigating landscape and archaeology at Shovel Down Bronze Age site in Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. In 2004 and 2005 Shavrova was invited to work as Artist-in Residence at Shovel Down, where she researched into processes of archaeological drawing and recording.
