Earth-Moon-Earth
Moonlight Sonata Reflected from the Surface of the Moon
Description:... Katie Paterson creates poetic works of art that address our physical landscape in unimagined and inspiring ways. Offering fresh insight into the imaginative potential of present-day technologies, Paterson gives new meaning to the conceptual tradition of art as idea.Paterson generated excitement around the world with her work Vatnajokull (the sound of), presented as part of her 2007 Slade School Degree Show, inviting visitors to call a number that connected them to Vatnajokull glacier in Iceland from where they could hear the sounds of ice melting. Paterson re-presents Vatnajokull (the sound of) for nine weeks as part of her exhibition in Modern Art Oxford's Lower Gallery, together with the haunting Earth-Moon-Earth (Moonlight Sonata Reflected from the Surface of the Moon).The exhibition is the fourth in our Encounters series, and Paterson's first in a UK public gallery. Born in Glasgow in 1981, the artist lives and works in London."
