Condorelli’s installations, publications and curatorial projects combine a number of approaches from developing structures for ‘supporting’ (the work of others, forms of political imaginary, existing and fictional realities) to broader enquiries into forms of commonality and discursive sites.

Encounters at Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre
Featuring interactive sculptures, film and immersive soundscapes, Encounters brings together works by leading international artists presented at Liverpool Biennial 2016 to Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre in Greater Manchester. Mark Leckey’s Dream English Kid 1964 – 1999 AD is the artist’s attempt to retrace the significant events of his life through archival footage on the internet. In the Sculpture Centre, visitors can discover sculptural and sound ‘portals’ by Céline Condorelli, an artwork by Audrey Cottin waiting to be activated through collaboration, and Rita McBride’s sculptural memories of buildings consumed by time. Encounters is on view until 9 September 2017.
Part of the Liverpool Biennial touring programme, which brings artworks by international artists presents at the 2016 Biennial to six art organisations in the North of England.
