Flora, Fauna @ KINMAN, Feb 27 – Mar 30

27 February 2014

Group exhibition Flora, Fauna is showing at London’s KINMAN, opening February 27 and closing March 30.

Featuring Rebecca Ackroyd, Celia Hempton, Paul Kneale, Andrew Mealor, Hannah Perry, Neil Rumming and Jack Strange, there’s not much to go on in terms of an exhibition brief except for its title. So in terms of how each artist approaches these biological categorisations of animal versus plant life, you’ll have to go and see for yourself.

Read a recent interview with Paul Kneale and see the KINMAN gallery website for details. **

No One Lives Here. Planetarity
21 March 2013

At the entrance of No one lives here, the latest exhibition by MA Curating students from the Royal College of Art, is a research display focused on the Pionen White Mountain Data Centre based near Stockholm, Sweden. Three-dimensional renderings, alongside a short film, show how unique this converted bunker space appears, juxtaposed as it is with plants, geometric glass offices and whirring computer servers. It’s everything a James Bond villain could wish for and as the architect Albert France-Lanord explains in an interview, deliberately so.  Its over-sized doors made to look secure, its sci-fi aesthetic designed to draw clients in closer to a vision of the future.
