Kate Daudy has been working in the cloud forests of Bolivia on a project of nature conservation and social change through agriculture. Along with an overview of this project, the artist will also talk about her research into folklore, myth, and ancient traditions involving honey and beekeeping. She will present the films, diary, and other artwork she has been making using honey not just as an inspiration but also a material. Through this work Daudy invites us to consider the consequences of our personal decisions upon our environment, and the proximity of the divine.
Kate Daudy is a British conceptual artist best known for her public interventions and large-scale outdoor sculptures. Working across a variety of media, she lives and works in London and has exhibited worldwide. At the Institute, Her Institute project, “Telling the Bees,” promotes communication, environmental resilience, collective-conservation, adaptation, and regeneration. Inventive, complex, and celebratory, the work is an educational, multi-disciplinary art project that sheds a golden light on the symbiotic relationship between the bee and humankind.
The Rendez-Vous de l’Institut Series is generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. You will find a full calendar of the Fellows’ Talks.
