Hypha Gallery South Bank, Gallery 1, 42 Southwark Bridge Rd, London, SE1 9EU
26th June - 26th July, Thursday – Sunday 12 – 5pm
Curated by Hermione Allsopp, Paul Carey Kent and Poppy Whatmore.
Bridging the Gap is a show of sculpture that draws inspiration from its immediate environment, using the proximity of Southwark Bridge as a metaphor for connection in divided times. More than twenty artists explore themes of linkage, separation, and repair through innovative approaches to structure and materiality - several employing locally-sourced materials. Their works respond to the exhibition space and the surrounding urban cityscape, engaging with contrasts between sleekly soaring architecture and street-level experiences to reflect on how connections are formed, fractured, and rebuilt – both currently and historically, and at personal and communal levels.
Artists:
Alice Wilson, Catriona Robertson, Erika Trotzig, Harriet Mena Hill, Helen Barff, Hermione Allsopp, Jonny Briggs, Julian Wild, Julie F Hill, Justin Hibbs and Rosalind Davis, Koushna Navabi, Michael Samuels, Milly Peck, Nicky Hirst, Neil Gall, Nigel Massey, Poppy Whatmore, Samuel Zealey, Sarah Pager, Sarah Roberts, Will Cruickshank.
Sunday 26th July from 3pm.
A live performance with movement artist Jamal Sterrett and Musician Ben Lancaster in response to mine and Rosalind's new installation. Also Curator Paul Carey-Kent talks with artists in the show on their practices and works in the exhibition.
