Art Sheffield 10
Published Date: Saturday 06 March 2010
Source: The Guardian, This week's exhibition preview by Robert Clark
This contemporary art festival's subtitle, Life: A User's Manuel, is taken from Georges Perec's 1978 novel in which inhabitants of a block of flats are evoked through the images – objects, photographs, reproductions – they keep in their rooms. The theme is broad enough to allow curators almost free rein, while also hinting at a framework on which to hang individual works. Artists selected range from the locally based yet internationally promising through to the long established. One-to-watch Maud Haya Baviera presents two video pieces that play on ambiguities of self-identity, and the renowned Susan Hiller is represented by her wonderful collection of 305 postcards of seas around British resorts.

Delightful desuetude
Published Date: Saturday 14 November 2009
Source: The Guardian, This week's exhibition preview by Robert Clark
With typical poetic subtlety the French artist Maud Haya-Baviera has titled her first solo UK show Delightful Desuetude. Haya-Baviera shifts through interbreedings of photography, drawing and sculptural installation, the hybrid artefacts coming on like cryptic clues to an unspecified crime. A photograph of rubble encircled by trees is maybe an image of backstreet banality or maybe a petrified stage set. A drawing of skeletal arches seems a blueprint for an unidentifiable architectural ruin. While painstakingly sidestepping cliches, her self-questioning sensitivity is imbued, and almost possessed, with intimations of romantic reverie. One to watch.
