About

Mariana Castillo Deball’s diverse, kaleidoscopic practice combines visual art with archaeology, science and history to make installations, performances, sculptures and text-based pieces. She focuses on different forms and languages to reveal the role of objects and stories in our histories and identities. For Waterfronts, Deball will draw on both the ancient and more recent geological and social history of the area. 

England’s Creative Coast celebrates and connects the distinct, creative coastline across Essex, Kent and East Sussex showcasing the exceptional culture in this part of the world, drawing on the uniqueness of each location to give visitors a new and enriched experience: exploring contemporary art situated on and made in response to this breathtaking coastline, and uncovering the creative spirit of each place as told by the locals that live there.

Commissioned artists include Andreas Angelidakis, Mariana Castillo Deball, Holly Hendry, Jasleen Kaur, Katrina Palmer, Pilar Quinteros and Michael Rakowitz. Partner institutions are Turner Contemporary, Creative Folkestone, Cement Fields, Metal Southend, Towner Eastbourne, the De La Warr Pavilion and Hastings Contemporary. Curated by Tamsin Dillon.
