Gathering #6 In explore 15 july 2023
A detail from "Gathering"
Fung + Bedford is the multidisciplinary design studio of UK artists Angela Fung (b. Mozambique, 1970) and Ashley Bedford (b. UK, 1970), who create tailormade origami paper installations. These large-scale, often architectural structures hang from walls and ceilings or wind their way through space. Fung and Bedford are fascinated by the fact that a two-dimensional object can be changed into a three-dimensional one with a few cuts, twists, and folds. All of their designs are based on paper. Their ambitious installation for the exhibition is designed for the tall, light-filled space of the CODA Museum, the work of architect Herman Hertzberger. Gathering is a gold curtain that flows downwards from the seven-metre ceiling. The title refers to a physical meeting of spirit, body and space that her work evokes, and is also a contemporary reference to our inability to gather during the Covid pandemic. Fung and Bedford are using the form and the shimmering material to encourage gathering and being together. The installation consists of more than a hundred hand-folded sheets of Fedrigoni gold paper attached to steel cables, creating a curtain structure that visitors can wander along.
