we are craving a certain unattainable density in emotions
subtle gestures that suggest something complex and vague
I will kiss you everywhere and recklessly

The event will dive into the rituals of the everyday, mixing language, myth and their power to attract. Devoted to what we can’t quite grasp, the works as us to ‘project our own obsessions’ and give into “superstition, exaggeration, and the cliché.”

Polluted&rearranged&garage… @ Hartslane, Jun 7 – 8

6 June 2016

news

The Polluted&rearranged&garage&virtualized&LOVE&Fighting&repeat&usb& group show is on at London’s Hartslane Studios, opening June 7 and running to June 8.

The artists involved are all in their first year of the MFA programme at Goldsmiths, like Anne de Boer, Natasha Bird, Tom Varley and Laura Yuile, and the show is prefaced with a text that seems to run through the thought process behind creating an exhibition that has at its core several loose but related threads and feelings.

The text, which is riddled with ampersands (‘&s’), goes through phrases, words and references like ‘garage’, ‘rearranged’, ‘Robbie Williams’, ‘TK Max’, ‘Marcel Duchamp’ and recounts someone addressing a robot about these thoughts.

Other artists in the show are Tom Kobialka, Marcel Darienzo, Theo Turpin, Puck Verkade and Robbie Howells.
