MAKE extends Peake's interests in the performative nature of making object-based artwork, particularly sculpture. It is also informed by a growing interest in Minimalism and Conceptual art movements and in the 'great' masculine heroes of these canons, Richard Serra, Donald Judd, Carl Andre. MAKE will play with the traditional reverence towards and god-like status of the artist/sculptor as author, deconstructing its status while the actions and processes that accumulate and manifest within a sculpture are exposed and highlighted. Conceived and created by Florence Peake, MAKE has been commissioned by Yorkshire Sculpture Park with funding from Arts Council England and is co-produced by Dance Art Foundation. Assistant Choreographer Katye Coe, performers Iris Chan, Kathy Crick, Rachel Gildea, Margarita Zafrilla Olayo, Amaara Raheem, Susanna Recchia, Nikki Tomlinson, Rosalie Wahlfrid will be joined by a wider cast at Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Easter Weekend, Saturday 7 April 2012.
