Carol Bove : The Foamy Saliva of a Horse

20 Apr-29 Jun 2013

Overview

The Common Guild is delighted to announce a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Carol Bove, the first presentation of her work in Scotland. Bove’s exhibition at The Common Guild will comprise the re-arrangement of her highly acclaimed installation ‘The Foamy Saliva of a Horse’ (2011), which was presented at the 54th Venice Biennale. Featuring a collection of found and hand-made objects, such as a piece of driftwood suspended in a polished bronze frame, the installation brings together seemingly random (and even contradictory) objects that, while natural in origin, call to mind the artifice of cultural value and meaning.
