Mary Hurrell EROTIC MECHANICS - mappings

A collection of textual scores and collage by Mary Hurrell, charting two bodies of work spanning 2015-2018, with essays by Emily LaBarge, published by Publication Studio London 2018.

'There are words inside words and works inside works… Hurrell’s performances are interested in inheritance and intimacy, what lives just beneath the skin of an idea, what presses softly through the membrane and pauses — and with what materials, solid or ephemeral, to make this manifest. Mappings is not about water, but it is about — around, through, next to — fluidity, and in this sense courses, cycles, refracts, repeats in waves. Like heartbeats, like blood through the veins; like hot reminiscences and beads of sweat; like changes of state and a body that can’t be escaped but still stands, stalks, leans, bends, crumples, descends, lies flat, eyes to the sky.' Emily LaBarge


Published by Publication Studio London on the occasion of Mary Hurrell’s exhibition Movement Study 6 (Maxxinna) at The Bower, 12-17 November 2018.
