Dominique White: Deadweight | Documentary – 9th Max Mara Art Prize for Women (2024)

Video (11:53): A short artist talk with Dominique White, the winner of the 9th Max Mara Art Prize for Women (2024). The award includes a residency in Italy, resulting in the exhibition, Deadweight, at the Whitechapel Gallery in London (summer 2024) and later the same year the show travelled to the Collezione Maramotti in Italy. – Her new sculptural project, titled “Deadweight”, originated at the Italian residency experience.

‘A thought-provoking exploration of rebellion and transformation, Deadweight comprises four large-scale sculptural works which continue the artist’s interest in creating new worlds for ‘Blackness’ and fascination with the metaphoric potency and regenerative power of the sea.’ – Whitechapel Gallery
