Warm Vessels in Search at Sunset,
co-curated with Ludovica Bulciolu,
108 Fleet St / Harlesden High Street, 2021
Artists included: Jaffar Aly, Rebecca Bellantoni, Mandy Franca, Nour Jaouda, Adam & Zack Khalil, Emily Moore, Joshua Myszczynski, Issi Nanabeyin, Sena Tabea Nehme, Femi Oshodi, Benjamin Salmon and TaliaBle.
Internal energies exist within every object and body; ones we create and ones we seek out. They flow, they move, constantly changing shape and turning into something else. Energies shift into artefacts of human expression, appearing as tools, sculptures, songs and talismans of information. Here they become mobile places for solace that people craft when existing structures unsettle rather than support.
The space became a home to host music, dance, making and performance. Our bodies moved alongside the artworks and became vessels for each other, releasing us from the pre-determination of final form.
The work featured took everyday life and removed the borders between object, memory and artefact. How does removing these borders work as an addition rather than a subtraction? How can these actions work as portals to self and the things that connect us like the rising and setting sun.
