Tacita Dean: Craneway Event

Published in The Observer, May 2010

Anyone familiar with Dean’s work will know that the rehearsal itself is not likely to be the main event. Rather, she notices the totality of the scene: the grids of the windows like hundreds of picture frames on the landscape beyond, the cavernous space, the liquid sheen of the floor with its ever-changing reflections. Her cameras drink in the sunshine. Occasionally, a dancer slides into shot, or a ship glides past, but it gradually becomes apparent that these are Cunningham’s preoccupations, too, precisely what inspire the wonderful abstractions of his choreography.
