Meandering Mourning and Collaged Reality (FIONA CURRAN)

from ART FICTIONS · host Jillian Knipe

Guest artist FIONA CURRAN    joins me to chat about her work via Esther Kinsky's 2020 novel 'Grove : A Field Guide'. The story is directed by a narrator who takes a trip to a village on the outskirts of Rome which was supposed to be an adventure with her recently deceased partner.  Fiona and I go on to discuss how the work of her current solo exhibition developed during lockdown and a nasty bout of covid, as well as an earlier, major outdoor installation. We expand on landscape as a character, contemporary poetry, a balance of bleak and beauty, loss of identity through grief, looking for solace in the landscape, loving everything Italian, beyond the optical, seduction of the screen, the colour blue, extreme fatigue, memory flooding into the present, sanitisation of nature, resurfacing, fragmentation, aimlessness, hovering, disorientation and losing a sense of self.    (This episode is produced by Jillian Knipe with music by Griffin Knipe and image by Joanna Quinn of Beryl Productions)   FIONA CURRAN  fionacurran.co.uk instagram fiona_curran 'Jump Cut, Still Life' solo exhibition at Broadway Gallery 'Your Sweetest Empire is to Please' outdoor installation at Gibson Estate   ARTISTS Anna Maria Garthwaite Anni Albers Florence Peake Fra Angelico Gunta Stöltzl Hannah Luxton Hélio Oticica Henri Matisse Lindsay Seers Lygia Clark Lygia Pape Mary Heilman Raoul De Keyser Sonia Delaunay   BOOKS Anne Truitt 'Daybook : The Journal of an Artist' 1982 Esther Kinsky 'River' 2014 Jeremy Cooper 'Bolt from the Blue' 2021 Joanne Kyger 'The Japan and India Journals 1960-1964' 1981 Linda J Lear 'Rachel Carson : Witness for Nature' 1994 Rachel Carson 'Silent Spring' 1962 Rebecca Solnit 'A Field Guide to Getting Lost' 2005   GALLERIES Bosse & Baum Broadway Gallery, Letchworth   THEORISTS & BOTANY Gibside Estate Kew Gardens Mary Eleanor Bows 1749-1800 Mary Wollstonecroft 1759-1797 Paul Virilio 1932-2018   FILM Michelangelo Antonioni 'Red Desert' 1964 starring Monica Vitti Pier Paolo Pasolini 'The Hawks and the Sparrows' 1966 'Notes Towards and African Orestes' 1970
