“I think it’s something about concrete’s heavy dumbness as a material that needs a form to be of use. There is musique concrète and concrete poetry. Why not concrete cinema, then?”
– American artist
Lucy Raven, on the unlikely protagonist of her new film
Ready Mix (2021), that documents the workings of a concrete plant in Bellevue, Idaho. It and other works will feature in Raven’s upcoming
Dia Chelsea solo exhibition.
