About YARA + DAVINA: Arrivals + Departures
Arrivals + Departures is an interactive installation that explores life and love through our experiences of birth and death, two emotive moments that are common to us all no matter who we are, and which can evoke huge depths of feeling. Using the instantly recognisable form of a station or airport arrivals and departures board, the artwork invites the public to share names and celebrate a birth or commemorate a death.
As global communities we have all been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and experienced collective grief. War and racial and social injustice are topics at the forefront of the contemporary consciousness, and this seems a fitting moment to question who and how we commemorate. Arrivals + Departures proposes a level playing field where all the names put forward are recognised in the same way, regardless of who they are.

JocJonJosch: Eddy
Eddy continues JocJonJosch’s investigations into collaboration. The round boat with three oars is symbolic of the collective’s dynamic, in which Joc, Jonathan and Joschi wrestle towards a destination. There is a sense that each time one would attempt to move forward, his movement would be countered by the action of the other two, leaving them literally turning in circles. - Art Outdoors
