Sarabande welcomes another creative titan! Renowned artist Cornelia Parker will delve into her illustrious career, offering insights into the making of her standout works. Asking the questions we all want to know the answers to will be Andrea Schlieker, Director of Exhibitions and Displays at Tate Britain.
Spanning over three decades, Parker’s career has been marked by significant exhibitions on both national and international stages. Known for her skilful manipulation of domestic objects, Parker's work delves into humanity's relationship with the world, addressing pressing issues such as violence, environmentalism, and human rights. Her large-scale, often site-specific installations, highlight a deep concern for the insidious effects of global warming and consumerism.
Join us to hear first hand the BTS of Cornelia Parker’s significant contributions to the arts.
About Sarabande Foundation
Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
Sarabande operates from a listed Stable Block conversion in Haggerston, where 15 studios form a creative community with designers and artists from multiple disciplines. Immersed in the hub of East London’s rich creative spirit, Sarabande exudes all that encompasses the creative sphere. The building is home to a plethora of artisans reflecting the multifarious span of Lee’s talent and the variety of craftspeople he worked with his own collections. Amongst others, our tactile artists include sculptors, fashion designers, jewellers, textile designers, painters, performance artists, silversmiths, costume designers, ceramicists, and dancers. Alongside these, Sarabande also houses filmmakers, animators, photographers, digital designers, and visual artists.
