SUMMARY:Tate Liverpool: Tate Liverpool: Cécile B. Evans
DESCRIPTION:Cécile B. Evans\nTate Liverpool\n21 October 2016 – 19 March 
 2017\nFREE\n\nSupported by University of Liverpool and Tate Liverpool Comm
 issioning Circle\n\nTate Liverpool presents the first solo exhibition in a
  UK public institution of London-based artist Cécile B. Evans (b. 1983\,
  United States/Belgium). Sprung a Leak 2016 is a new multi-dimensional wo
 rk featuring two humanoid robots and a robot dog performing in the gallery
 .\n\nThe new commission explores the movement of data\, artificial intelli
 gence\, and the possibilities of collaboration between humans and machine
 s. It examines the increasing influence that new technologies have on how
  people feel and act.\n\nThe installation invites visitors into a narrativ
 e loop that unfolds across multi-screen synched video\, robots and a foun
 tain\, among other sculptural elements in the exhibition space. Through c
 onversations between robots and human performers present in the space via 
 monitors\, a story is told that addresses the ways that emotions and vuln
 erabilities interact with our evolving digital world.\n\nEvans’s new wo
 rk\, Sprung a Leak\, draws on wide-ranging research in the fields of scien
 ce\, technology\, film and theatre. With reference points ranging from Sh
 akespeare to science fiction\, the work draws on the recent history of da
 ta and robotics. Exploring the polarity between the data leak (‘too muc
 h information’) and the information blackout\, the work considers the cl
 ose relationship between the digital and the physical.\n\nEvans draws ins
 piration from moments in recent history when personal data has been leaked
  on a global scale and the impact of how data circulates through society.
  A starting point for her is the idea that robots and humans might collab
 orate to combat external forces together\, for example the failed attempt
  of a robot to fix the Fukushima reactor after 2011’s nuclear disaster. 
 Evans comments\, ‘The limitations of the machines we make give us an un
 paralleled view on our own limitations. In my opinion\, these moments of 
 joint failure create openings to imagine new possibilities and re-address
  old questions from an unstable but unique position.’\n\nCécile B. Evan
 s’s recent projects include What the Heart Wants\, 9th Berlin Biennale (
 2016)\, the group exhibitions CO-WORKERS– Network as Artist at Musée d
 ’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris\, (2015) Follow at FACT (Foundation f
 or Art and Creative Technology)\, Liverpool (2015/16)\, Software\, Hard P
 roblem at Cubitt\, London (2015)\, and AGNES\, the Serpentine Galleries’
  first digital commission (2014). She has also recently been shortlisted 
 for The Film London Jarman Award 2016.\n\nThe exhibition is curated by La
 uren Barnes\, Assistant Curator\, Tate Liverpool.
