The Meshes of the Afternoon group exhibition at London’s Roman Road opened June 7 and is running to August 20.

Curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini, the show included work by Nils Alix-Tabeling, Chelsea Culprit, Maria Gorodeckaya, Hanne Lippard and Gina Pane, with a performance on the opening night by Emily Jones. 

The show takes its inspiration from Maya Deren’s film Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) and asks the invited artists to reflect and reinterpret the work and its “associative power to reflect on femininity, dream state, trauma and desire.” The film wanders in a circular narrative, getting lost within the trance-like soundtrack that creates a surreal and dream-like vibe.

A screening of the film ‘After Picasso, God‘ by Sophie Cundale was screened alongside on July 1 as part of the London Art Night.**
