AR -Rebecca Beinart


Rebecca Beinart

My practice investigates the way we shape the places we inhabit, and how they in turn shape us. I make live events in public places, installations, and interventions. My projects frequently take the form of an experiment in which you are invited to take part: exploring the territory between art, ecology and politics.

a love this exploration between the art and the everyday, how we inhabit space is also a bit of a facination of mine, and i can see my practie drifting in thsi dorrection,

here peice: Tea Potential Mobile Experiment, 2008 facinates me, as it is very simalr to what i did with my distruption peice.




she describes it as: The Tea Potential Mobile Experiment is a self-sufficient Tea Party mounted upon a bicycle. The bicycle makes journeys in search of plants to brew up, fuel for the fire, water, and company. The bicycle is ready to unfurl into a tea party at a moments notice. The project quietly asks about our hot-beverage habits, lines of supply, and the alternatives to be found in unexpected places.

Over the summer of 2008, the Tea Bike explored the Tea Potential of areas of Devon, London and Bristol. An archive of teabags records these journeys, made from foraged plants that have been dried and hand-processed. Each one is unique. Each one has a story.

Bicycle, table, umbrella, teapots, basket, storm kettle, foraged plants

i love the idea of each hvaing a story, but also suttle enquiring about tea drinking habbits, i think i should explore these as they quite excite me, maybe a form of menu, or index card with preferances.
