Titled Spiteful of Dream, the work is typical of the Wilson’s output, which frequently connects current concerns with the workings of the human psyche alongside site specificity.
For QUAD, who are promising a film and sculptural installation that will be the most impressive work yet for the internationally acclaimed artists, it is seen as the perfect opening statement for the new centre.
“The sister’s sculptural use of moving images and the architectural nature of their installations provides the perfect combination of media for QUAD, a building intended as a focal point for contemporary art and moving image,” explained Louise Clements, Curator at QUAD Derby.
When it opens QUAD will also be offering access to BFI Mediatheque, a digital jukebox available for the first time outside London giving users access to over 1000 films and television programmes.
In the run up to the opening of QUAD, international artist Bill Drummond was commissioned to create a new work called The17 involving 1,700+ local people.
