Description: Around twenty exuberant sculptures by Scottish artist Georgia Russell (Elgin, 1974) will be exhibited in Het Noordbrabants Museum from 14th May to 30th August. Russell's work has already been included in the collections of the V&A in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. With the exhibition Georgia Russell - Art with a Scalpel, the artist will be receiving her first solo presentation in a museum. Georgia Russell does not create art with paint or pencil, she cuts and carves in books, newspapers and music scores and transforms them into exuberant images. Russell's fascination for books arose in Paris, where she works, while searching for study material on the book stalls along the Seine. Cutting old books is not intended to shock. On the contrary, Russell wants to show something positive: "With my scalpel, I free the past from a book and I create a new image with a new meaning. There is a simultaneous sense of loss and preservation in each construction; that's what interests me." Exhibition: Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch, The Netherlands (16.05.-30.08.2015).
