Rebecca Ackroyd: Mirror Stage
Fondaco Marcello, Venice, 2024

Collateral Event of the 60^th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Rebecca Ackroyd: Mirror Stage presents a collection of new works by Rebecca Ackroyd. Assembled into a dreamlike installation where the artist’s singular processes of replication and fragmentation distort our perception of reality, desire and disgust, the familiar and the uncanny, past and present coalesce into an intriguing phantasmagoria comprising large-scale paintings, drawings, cast sculptures, and ready-made objects.

In this new body of work, conceived specifically for the Fondaco Marcello, a former tobacco warehouse, Ackroyd explores abstract ideas such as fragmented realities, the recesses of the subconscious, and the malleability of memory, while reflecting on their representation. 

Rebecca Ackroyd: Mirror Stage is curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini and presented by Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover, with the support of Peres Projects, which represents Rebecca Ackroyd.
