Ruby Murray*
2023

50 x 50 cm, polystyrene ceiling panels from Lungitz (AT) train station, nylon fibres
(*Cockney rhyming slang: ‘curry’)

‘Extending the act of dismantling and giving portions of [Lungitz train station] away, Brishty Alam used decorative ceiling panels stripped from the former living quarters to create a flocked mural that slowly became fragmented as visitors took parts of it with them. Referencing memories of restaurant decor from where Alam grew up, Ruby Murray transposed an imaginary cultural aesthetic from London onto the fading domestic interior of the train station.’ Excerpt from article by Antoine Turillon & Seth Weiner, MARCH, 2024.

Exhibited at SET Kensington, London, (2024), Ve.Sch, (2024), ZONE1, Vienna Contemporary, Galerie Wonnerth Dejaco, (2023) and Festival der Regionen, Upper Austria, (2023). Photos by Flavio Palasciano & Seth Weiner.
