When Studio Swine’s ‘breathing’ sculpture first huffed and puffed into life at Eden Project in 2017, it put the Cornwall institution on the map as a budding destination for contemporary art.
Since then its permanent collection has come into full bloom, most recently with new sculptural additions by Ryan Gander and Jenny Kendler, installed in the grounds alongside works from Julian Opie and Tim Shaw that arrived earlier in the year. Gander’s sculpture,, is a marble drinking fountain fabricated in the likeness of his wife Rebecca, leaning in for a kiss with the artist, and playfully spitting water.
New York-based artist Tauba Auerbach transformed the historic Fireboat John J Harvey into a dazzle ship, putting a contemporary spin on the optical patterns conceived by British painter Norman Wilkinson during the First World War to confuse enemy submarine radars. Auerbach created her design for the surface of the boat through the process of marbling paper, floating inks on a fluid bath and combing the surface to create various wake patterns before transferring them on to paper.
