Excerpts:
"The British artist Tacita Dean, who is normally based in Berlin, has spent the past year in Los Angeles as the Getty Research Institute’s current Artist in Residence. Best known for her 16-mm films in which themes of time, disappearance, and materiality predominate, the artist has recently been working on a series of large-scale drawings—a medium to which she returned in 2012, following a ten-year hiatus. As her research assistant at the Getty, I jumped at the chance to visit Dean in her Culver City studio." ~~~~~
"Embedded in these contrasting shades are various fragments of text. The scrawled snippets placed within the clouds are only intermittently legible and in fact Dean often begins her drawings with the writing of a word or phrase, building her imagery amidst a mass of accrued scribbles."-Annie Rana, Getty Research Institute
