Laura Eldret:
Laura Eldret (b.1982, Macclesfield) lives and works in London. Recent projects include The Juicers (2015) for Fig-2 at ICA, London; Hey! (2014) Rough Play, a commission for South London Gallery (2013); Power Plays, a solo exhibition at The Gallery, Bournemouth (2012); Fought, a re-enacted boxing match working with fire fighters and a new ‘ritual’ as part of a residency at Camden Arts Centre (2011). Group exhibitions include Ikon (2013), Focal Point Gallery (2012), Glasgow International (2012), Baltic (2012), Five Hundred Dollars (2010). Eldret was also co-founder and co-director of CollectingLiveArt (2007 -10).
Plan for a Rug #ArtistImpression reflects on stereotypes of art making, and features motifs of pens, pencils and perspectival lines. The drawing is also a proposal for an art work in the form of a rug. Eldret has recently spent time in a Zapotec community in Mexico, where she has designed and commissioned a series of woollen rugs that combine her own observations and research interests with the makers’ life stories and anecdotes. This works relates to Eldret's project which opens and closes the Fig 2 programme at ICA, London.
