Artist Talk - Claire Morgan (No Match)
Claire Morgan by Kris Heath
This event offered the chance to hear Claire talking about her work and where it started, what fuels it, and how this has led to her current practice and the creation of No Match, a site-specific commission on display at the Museum until 31 October 2012. She also discussed some of the latest pieces she is currently installing and the direction her work is now taking.
No Match is commissioned by Mid Pennine Arts in collaboration with Lancashire County Council. Contemporary Heritage is an ambitious contemporary art programme inspired by historic sites across Lancashire. The installations animate each site and offer visitors a rare chance to experience major works of art by artists of national and international standing outside a city environment.
'We really enjoyed our visit at the weekend. The museum is a fantastic place, and it was really good to see the work then listen to Claire talking about the physical processes, and concepts behind it. I didn't know any of her other work, so the talk and visuals combined were really illuminating.'
