Céline Condorelli

Céline Condorelli

Céline Condorelli’s work addresses the boundaries between public and private, art and function, work and leisure, in order to reimagine what culture and society can be, and the role of artists within them. Often using forms of architecture, design, or sculptural objects, Condorelli’s installations make interventions to the way that people navigate or use a space, whether that is in the context of a museum or gallery, or a children’s playground, a public garden or an artist’s studio. Condorelli is interested in how materials translate from their raw states, to be cultivated and extracted through labour and industry to be received and used by society. Referencing the work of 20th century modernist architects across the globe, her work collapses and reinterprets the boundaries between work and leisure, inside and outside, political imaginary and societal realities, in order to create sites and structures for supporting the work of others and to foster enquiry and discussion. As well as her work as an artist Condorelli is one of the founding directors of Eastside Projects, Birmingham, UK and regularly teaches. She is the author and editor of Support Structures published by Sternberg Press (2009) and she was shortlisted for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2017. www.celinecondorelli.eu
