‘Mutter Matter – murmurings from the Drawing Room table’

Mutter Matter is a collaborative installation project by artists Jane Fox  and Irene Mensah.‘Murmurings from the kitchen table’ was first seen in the kitchen at the Regency Town House, Brighton, during the House festival in May 2011. The artists are now making a new work for the Upstairs Drawing Room at  Pitzhanger Manorin Ealing Broadway. In ‘Mutter Matter –murmurings from the Drawing Room table’ the artists weave together elements from their personal memories of their Grandmothers…the exuberant naughtiness of licking plates, a discreet hum or the handling of flour and utensils to create ‘perfection lemon pie’…. alongside their observations from research into the lives of Sir John Soane and his wife Eliza, who owned the property in the first decade of the 19th century. It is not the details of these memories that the work reveals but rather a strange mix of mayhem and contemplation, surface and touch, presence and absence,and the impossibility of perfection that crosses generations of women ‘Mutter Matter –Murmurings from the Drawing Room Table’ can be seen at Pitzhanger Manor  from 15th June to 29th July 2012Free – please call to reserve a place
