I was involved in the translation of two art essays written by David Ryan and Stuart Bradshaw for Sharon Hall's latest exhibition catalogue. Her work is now on show at Pescia's local museum: il Palazzo del Podestà (Tuscany). The paintings and photographs in the exhibition describe the relationship between colour, form and space - thus the influence of the immediate surroundings and therefore the cultural baggage that this entails.
With philosophical and historical references the texts become quite complex, nonetheless, they are very interesting, insightful and vibrant in tone.
It's been such a great learning experience and I do hope for more translation work in the nearest future, I find it curious how different parts of the brain, which normally stay dormant, suddenly activate...
