Igshaan Adams: Kicking Dust
19 May — 25 July 2021 The exhibition Kicking Dust is akin to a park, a landscape that absorbs and surrounds us with the everyday, desire, narrative and countless contrasts. Igshaan Adams’ art speaks of origin, religion and sexuality and it connects the proximate, the distant and the seemingly contradictory. Woven tapestries, filigree sculptures and expansive structures bridge opposites.

Der abscheuliche Kuss
4 Sep  —  6 Nov 2020 The work of the three artists in the exhibition – Sanam Khatibi, Jessie Makinson and Urara Tsuchiya – explores the wider power dynamics underlying such accusations through an exploration of violence and sensuality across human and animal species. Filled with humour and antagonism, the artists’ paintings, tapestries and ceramics reflect the ambivalence in more-than-human behaviour. As cruelty and care become interchangeable, the scenes present a kind of lust shaped by a constant negotiation between desire and repulsion.
