| What | In the 8th exhibition of the SUPER ESTATE PROJECTS, artists Liz Davis, Clare Gerrard, and Susanna Jacobs, present work exploring different aspects of wild nature in the city. Liz Davis’ work involves the passing of time, with two projects on past and future. In the past fifty years, the flora of the City has altered; Liz Davis’ first project sets out to find plants which exemplify these changes. These mounted specimens will become part of the Natural History Museum’s archive. Through painting and sculpture, Davis’ second project looks to the deep future when humans abandon the City, the Golden Lane Estate reverts to nature, and a new ecology emerges. The buildings will be overgrown, Great Arthur House will be alive with birds, and the now manicured open spaces will become thickets within which wild animals will roam. Drawn from field research carried out in the City, Clare Gerrard has made a document of a present day landscape of the City and Golden Lane. Since the Golden Lane Estate was built in 1958 the natural environment of the area has changed drastically. Once it was surrounded by bombsites and ruins and yet full of wildlife, plants and birds. Now wildlife survives temporarily before it is routinely cleared from streets and parks or sites as they are developed. The work is a record of wild plants and flowers found growing in the City today. Susanna Jacobs is showing an installation of drawing and animation. The austere simplicity of the architecture of Golden Lane Estate is seen as a group of stage sets where the drama of the past can be re‐ imagined. The estate becomes wilderness, and nature is resurgent in scenes reminiscent not just of the overgrown ruins of the Blitz, but also of the primitive landscape of prehistoric London.

| What | For their residency at The Pigeon Wing, VerySmallKitchen presents a month long exploration of how writing moves (or not) between the locations of Writing/Exhibition/Publication. Throughout September The Pigeon Wing will be both workspace and exhibition, offering space for a programme of exhibitions, readings, performances, research projects, libraries, and screenings, exploring an abundance of forms and practices at the interface of writing and art practices. Notes, essays, scripts, scores, propositions, live writings, scrawls, appropriations, assemblings and dissemblings, accretive structures and deletions are some of the strategies to be explored by a range of contemporary practitioners from the UK, Hungary, Ireland, the US and elsewhere. Throughout the exhibition, the gallery will also provide a focal point for the 'The Festival of Nearly Invisible Publishing', a programme of self-organised events happening throughout the world, evidence of which are submitted to the gallery for archive and display. The Pigeon Wing also operates an open house 12–5pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Individuals and groups whose work relates to the research topics of the exhibition are invited to present their work, join an informal conversation and also to read and consult the library and other materials. Projects unable to make it the gallery at these times, may submit materials online.

Sinta Werner: Along the Sight Lines
Categories: All Events | Exhibitions | Free | Private Views/Launches
Posted by Permalink
| What | Nettie Horn is pleased to present the second UK solo exhibition by Berlin based artist Sinta Werner featuring a site-specific installation as well as a new series of collages. Sinta Werner aims to interrogate our conventional ways of seeing and representing through elaborate fictitious environments. The creation of these architectonic works notably contributes to her exploration of virtual and physical boundaries, the notion of 'in-betweens' and other such aspects linking the two and the three dimensional. Within the main space of the gallery, Werner's site specific installation 'Along the Sight Lines' is elaborated through her playful use of the effect of 'double exposure' - the installation in itself evokes a vision perceived from two different angles which is effective from the optimal viewing point of the threshold of the space. In order to create this kind of 'double-take', Werner resorts to a combination of processes driven by the use of digital media - an important and innovative element in her work. As a starting point, she uses images of the gallery space which she then projects within that same space by shifting its original positioning - the whole architectural configuration being in this way subjected to a virtual spatial rotation. In order to create this second exposure, Werner materializes this shifted image of the entitic structure through two steps: certain architectural elements such as pillars and beams are rebuilt while the walls, floor, ceiling and pillars are painted according to the projected anamorphic images.
