多罗西.克罗斯(Dorothy Cross)
多罗西.克罗斯(Dorothy Cross)以一系列表现了奶牛的皮肤和乳房的作品获得广泛的关注和赞誉。在她的艺术创作中,她将随手拾来的材料和创作品混合,这些东西混合在一起就使得 日常物品充满了灵性。这种效果有时让人感到幽默,有时又让人心神不宁,但是让人感到兴奋,又引人注目。

克罗斯曾经举办过多个个人画展,这包括2005年在爱尔兰现代艺术博物馆举办的一个大型的回顾展。多罗西.克罗斯(Dorothy Cross)曾被委任创造数个公共工程。最为著名的有“幽灵船”,在都柏林和第一届利物浦当代艺术双年展中展出。这个作品被认为是近年来最为成功的公共艺 术作品之一。2000年,她获得科艺奖研究和发展项目奖项。她的作品被世界各地列入了许多公共和私人收藏,其中包括佩斯艺术中心基金会,德克萨斯和泰特现 代美术馆。她现在居住工作在都柏林。

南极洲
这是一个被转化成黑白底片的没有声音的视频,展示了一个女人在南极洲的冰山下潜泳的情景。这部片子让人觉得里面的人物很容易受伤,有时可能会丧命。此视频时长20分钟。

水母湖
一个女人在湖中游泳,周围尽是水母,这一场景用水下摄像机拍摄。这个视频和另外一个视频,南极洲十分相像。此视频时长9分钟,无声。

Dorothy CROSS
Dorothy Cross came to widespread attention and acclaim when she began a series of works featuring cow skins and cows’ udders. In her art she amalgamates found and constructed objects, these assemblages invariably have the effect of reinvigorating the lives of everyday things, sometimes humorous, sometimes disturbing, always intellectually stimulating and physically arresting.
Cross has had numerous solo exhibitions including a large-scale retrospective at The Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2005. Dorothy Cross has been commissioned to create several public works. The most significant of these, ‘Ghost Ship’, shown in Dublin and at the 1st Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, has been regarded as one of the most successful public art works in recent years. In 2000 she was awarded the SCIART Research and Development Project Award. Her work is included in many public and private collections worldwide, including the ArtPace Foundation, Texas and the Tate Modern. She lives and works in Dublin.

Antarctica
This is a silent video transferred to black and white negative, which shows a woman diving under icebergs in Antarctica. The result appears quite fragile and at times perhaps toxic. The video length is 20 minutes.

Jellyfish Lake
A woman is filmed from underwater with jellyfish swimming round her. This relates very closely to the other video piece, Antarctica. It runs for 9 minutes and is silent.
