Claire Barclay’s sculpture becomes the inspiration for live dance performances by outstanding British choreographers. On the 20 and 21 January, for two nights only, Dog Kennel Hill Project, a collaboration between innovative dancers Ben Ash, Henrietta Hale and Rachel Lopez de la Nieta, perform Figure Stuck, Stuck. This piece was developed during their residency at the Gallery in November 2010 and arises from their interest in the investigation of new contexts for dance. Claire Barclay is a leading figure in a generation of young sculptors who have re-engaged with craft techniques and the symbolic resonance of materials. The architectural mix of the East End with its dark cobbled alleyways, Georgian townhouses and modern buildings are refracted into her sculpture. Barclay has created a complex space for peeking around corners and for being observed.
