Durant Block

Durant Block is a forthcoming mural by Carla Weeks to be painted on the walls of the main venue.

Named for the historic building now home to SPACE Gallery, Durant Block draws from the structure’s exterior architecture and functional histories. Weeks translates elements from the building facade into a repeating composition of coded imagery. Layering site-specific architectural details with her own visual vocabulary, Weeks uses pattern as a tool to reflect on the ambiguous fluidity of memory.

Carla Weeks is a British-born painter and muralist based in Midcoast Maine. Informed by her personal interactions with both the natural landscape and built environment, she utilizes abstraction to navigate through the physical and emotional experience of place. She has shown work in Philadelphia, New York City, and across New England. She has held residencies at the Ellis Beauregard Foundation in Rockland, Monson Arts in Monson, and The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. Recent exhibitions include 2-person shows at Primary in Miami, FL and Dunes in Portland, ME.
