Liquid Archive

Liquid Archive traces the ways in which contemporary artists are making connections between traditional notions of the archive and emerging technologies; incorporating memory and personal experience into larger histories.

Archives allow us to measure the flow of time, to find patterns in the way time eddies, echoes and repeats. Liquid Archive aims to reflect something of the archive as we experience it today: between analogue and digital, in a state of escalating accumulation, movement and flux.

Artists: Laurence Aberhart, Bashir Baraki, Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin, Joyce Campbell, Zoe Croggon, Mathew Jones, Leah King-Smith, Nicola Loder, Maha Maamoun, Ricky Maynard, Tom Nicholson, Patrick Pound, Raqs Media Collective, Xochitl Rivera Navarrete, Zineb Sedira, [The User] and Kit Wise.

Pretty Air and Useful Things

Focussing on invisible forces, transgressive processes, and anarchic approaches to materials in sculptural practice, Pretty Air and Useful Things invokes the magnetism and friction of objects, and our relationship to them.

Artists Dan Bell, Sanné Mestrom and Alex Vivian present sculptural and installation works that reference the body through form, clothing, stains or scent; and the utilitarian via elements of design and commodity. In the spaces between are processes of speculation, transference, fermentation, connection, function and distortion. Using a combination of found, adapted and handmade materials, the intangible, perhaps mystical, qualities of objects are suggested. Read more...
