Catrin Huber
Hall of Fictional Space
Catrin Huber is interested in the relationship between imagined painted and actual architecture, and in how wall paintings can re-negotiate role and function of rooms and buildings. Her exhibition at the British School will combine wall painting with drawings of imagined spaces.
For Hall of Fictional Space she imagined bringing together a diverse group of painters from ancient Roman Pompeii, Herculaneum and Oplontis. The imagined group had an animated argument about wall paintings for the 21st century. The fruit of this debate will be a wall painting that responds to the arguments made, and to the specific characteristics of the foyer at the British School at Rome. The exhibition space is located under architect Edwin Lutyens’ grand façade at the British School. In contrast to this bright and spacious outdoor area, the exhibition space evokes a cool, subterranean chamber which is transformed by Huber’s wall painting.
