An interview with artist Lauren Gault (UK) who is undertaking a residency at Gasworks from 1 April to 17 June 2019.
Lauren Gault considers the political and ethical implications of our interactions with matter and the environment. Her work evokes intangible encounters with non-human experiences of time, space and physicality. In her sculptures, materials as diverse as silicone rubber, blown glass, pumped air, stitched suede, water or agricultural milk powder are subject to change through actions and physical processes that often involve pressure, tension and release. Exploring the transitions between different states of matter and scales of experience, Lauren's work creates a space for objects to communicate and resonate with one another.
Lauren Gault will work towards an exhibition at Gasworks in January 2020 which will later travel to The Tetley in Leeds.

Lauren Gault is the fourth artist to take part in the Freelands Gasworks Partnership, a programme for emerging artists based outside of London. Made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Freelands Foundation, the programme combines a three-month residency with a solo exhibition and series of public events at Gasworks and will then travel to another venue outside London.
