Nashashibi / Skaer
Rosalind Nashashibi and Lucy Skaer have been collaborating since 2005. For their first solo exhibition in Scotland they will exhibit a new 16mm film, specially commissioned by doggerfisher. The film takes as its starting point the paintings of the early 20th century British artist, Paul Nash and in particular his landscape painting, Flight of the Magnolia of 1944. Nashashibi/Skaer have a fascination with Nash’s use of visual analogies, surrealism and natural phenomena to suggest something much more temporal and haunting.
Nashashibi will have a solo show at the ICA, London in September. Skaer has been nominated for this year’s Turner Prize. The Turner exhibition opens at Tate Britain in October.
