TAPED-UP

SARAH LUCAS in conversation with LOUISA BUCK

Filmed in the run-up to the 56th International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale 2015.

Direction / Camera / Editor : JULIAN SIMMONS
Filmed on location : London Art Workshop, February 2015
Produced by : JULIAN SIMMONS 2019

I’d been filming extensively around this time, 10’s of hours of footage and talking to the BBC in dark London taverns.

Part of this footage became the 60 minute EGG film – which was shot over the Christmas New-Year period of 2014-15 in Suffolk. Then London in January 2015… judicious filming of Vaseline’d, freshly leg-shaved women being wrapped in plaster bandage, making the molds for sculptures that would hopefully head out to Venice in just a couple of months.

Into February, the location of TAPED-UP was alongside a workshop where Sarah was making the casts from those very molds. Mixing-up large quantities of dusty casting-plaster in buckets, knocking the air out and ensuring that the rough seams of the molds didn’t leak – which they did – they always do.

Anyway, still in an anti-plaster suit, an interview was looming. Sarah didn’t want Louisa to see the new in-progress sculptures, in fact it was imperative not to. The British Council (who run ‘our shop’ in Venice – the GB pavilion there) are totally strict and expert about such matters, surely an unsuspecting hotbed for recruiting spies. The Venice Biennale as you know is where all the countries of the world show-off their cutting-edge creative endeavours. Utmost top secrecy is demanded, I’m sure we had to sign something to that affect. We had an idea of tying Louisa to a chair, to prevent curiosity and an intellectual leak. As you’ll see, Sarah switched this around. She was in this case, a muse of her own making.

As a point of interest, the molds (which you don’t see) are destroyed in the process of extricating the casts. There’s only one chance, and for sure the muses – our nine naked friends, would not gladly pose again, numbingly motionless for a second attempt. In fact there wouldn’t have been enough time. No, if the casts in some way failed, there would only be half a show going to Venice, shipping was imminent.

Sarah could use a drink.

She’s never keen on being filmed, but doesn’t mind me knocking about on rare occasion – this was such an occasion.

SARAH LUCAS at the BRITISH PAVILION, VENICE, 9 May – 22 November 2015.  56TH INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION, LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA.

The exhibition of 18 sculptures, 2 photographs and an 11 x 5 spot painting, is accompanied by a 152 page publication, I SCREAM DADDIO.  Story-book and catalogue, with extensive texts by Sarah Lucas, poems by D.H.Lawrence and profusely illustrated with photographs by Julian Simmons, the book charts a period of 750 eggs – throwing / dancing / massaging / arranging into a nob and bollocks, and making new plaster sculptures in Britain – to their installation in the British Pavilion, Venice.

‘The off-white plaster bodies remind Lucas of meringues in a dessert, with Fergus Henderson providing a recipe for iles flottantes in the catalogue. Lucas’s catalogue, rather than providing explanation (though it does, by devious default) continues her work by other means. Part sculptor’s notebook, part autobiography, part diary of her life in London and Suffolk, it is filled with disarming delights’, Adrian Searle, The Guardian, 5 May 2015.

‘In the excellent catalogue that accompanies the show, Sarah writes that she never works “to a plan. I don’t know what I’m going to do next. If I had a plan I’d most probably spend my days avoiding it.”  Reading further in a section of the book titled “MUM,” Sarah describes, beautifully, some women she knew growing up—including a mum who cleaned toilets in a public lavatory’, Hilton Als, The New Yorker, 26 August 2015.

‘I Scream Daddio is beautiful, touching, erotic, authentic and funny. More so I enjoyed reading the accompanied text which for once, wasn’t filled by an overly ambitious curator’s conceptual writing but like a diary – by the artist herself’, Michal Cole, ArtLyst.com, 17 May 2015.

SARAH LUCAS – I SCREAM DADDIO | Film – British Pavilion Venice

by

 

Sarah Lucas talks to friend and artist Don Brown about her new works, installed in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2015; with subjects ranging between toilets as a human portrait, palpable casting techniques, toplessness – top-off and top-on, a bum or a vagina is a face, the subliminal use of eggs – including the dessert floating-islands, nude sculptures are close friends; and she has a few slices of SPAM with a glass of Aspall Premier-Cru cider.

Filmed at the British Pavilion, Giardini Di Castello, Venice, April 2015.
Director / Camera / Editor : Julian Simmons
Sound : Julian Simmons [in case you hadn’t noticed the microphone is clipped to Sarah’s left nipple, if a microphone (i.e. basically a nob) is required, why hide it?]

I SCREAM DADDIO – SARAH LUCAS | the Kvadrat bag

by

Designed to stylishly carry the I SCREAM DADDIO exhibition catalogue, premium textile manufacturer Kvadrat sponsored SARAH LUCAS at the Venice Biennale with the production of a limited-edition, bespoke bag in their luxurious Kvadrat ‘Waterborn’ material.  This synthetic suede does not fray, it has no need to be hemmed: just cut it to shape. The design is composed of just two pieces of material, that folded for the bag, and that for the strap.

The single strap is slender, no-hem – single thickness, and supremely strong; ingeniously threaded through two openings in the flap, the strap is attached to the front of the bag ensuring the bag is kept flat and closed.  Like the strap, the flap is single thickness, no hem, no stitching.  The sides of the front and back of the bag have their cut edges exposed on the outside (the sides of the bag stitched from the outside rather than stitched inside out), with no possibility of fraying the visible clean-cut edge defines the precise look of this unique lay-flat design; technological, elegant and super-sexy.

I SCREAM DADDIO – SARAH LUCAS | the British Council bag

by

Available in Venice from the British Pavilion, Giardini Di Castello, Venice | 9 May – 22 November 2015 | €10 / Euros

The brief was to design a bag to contain the I SCREAM DADDIO exhibition catalogue – a book in a bag.  We had some fun with this: ‘a bag’ is a certain kind of woman, and well ‘a book in a bag’ has a good measure of sexual innuendo.  In fact if you purchase a book and a bag together, I believe you get a discount, like the great old British tradition of a soup and a sandwich (of which if you’ve seen it, the book is a sandwich, either cheese or egg).

The bag can be worn over the shoulder normally or diagonally across the body – courier style.  The generous strap is attached to the sides of the bag – it’s why the bag needs structured sides – which also provide more room inside and add a distinctive satchel look.  I’ve always been an advocate of the usefulness of small canvas English fishing-bags, so while we’re at it, why not a generous flap? – to keep the weather out and the bag neatly closed.

When the flap is opened, ‘I SCREAM’ is revealed!  Otherwise it’s simply the DADDIO bag.
