A solo exhibition by Nina Beier presents recent and new sculptures, including a major new spatial work commissioned by DRAF, Tileables (2014), following a six-year conversation between the artist and Vincent Honoré, Chief Curator at DRAF. This new work is a 125 m2 mosaic of ceramic tiles, each individually printed with texture patterns originally designed for 3-D modelling software to imitate concrete, marble, mud and other materials. These tiles are accompanied by delivered boxes of fresh vegetables, hacked flatscreen fireplaces, tangled garden hoses and stacks of handmade carpets. The installation creates a muddy field of the fluid and the petrified, the imitation and the actual.
