Claire Barclay (b. 1968) is a Scottish artist. Her artistic practice utilizes a number of traditional mediums that include installation, sculpture and printmaking, but it also expands to encapsulate a diverse array of craft techniques.[1] Central to her practice is a sustained exploration of materials and space.[2][3]
Early life and education
Claire Barclay received a Master of Fine Arts from the Glasgow School of Art, where she focused on environmental art.[4]
Career
In 2003, Barclay represented Scotland in the Venice Biennale.[4] She was the focus of a solo exhibition at the Tate Britain in 2004.[5] In 2009 she had a solo exhibition at the Fruitmarket Gallery, which documented significant works created by Barclay over the previous twelve years, alongside newly-commissioned installations.[6]
Themes
Situated within realms of the domestic, Barclay's work juxtaposes the reified space of the gallery with that of the everyday.[7] The objects present within her installations allude to dichotomies between function and disfunction; subsequently, this imbues them with qualities of both the familiar and strange, while simultaneously imparting her work with an elusory quality.[8]
Style
Barclay creates large-scale installations, often made in situ and in response to the spaces in which they are shown.[9] Her practice is also deeply rooted in process and craftsmanship; accordingly, her installations include an array of materials that oscillate between those associated with mechanization and those associated with the domestic: steel, cast-concrete, machined aluminium, rubber, brass mesh, ceramic, leather, canvas and printed fabric.[10] These dualities further position her artistic process between the handcrafted and industrially produced, as well as the natural and man-made.[11]
