IAIN BAXTER& / Adam Chodzko

About

IAIN BAXTER& and Adam Chodzko will each make exhibitions around elaborate installations they are building in parts of Raven Row previously closed to the public. BAXTER& will reconfigure his seminal work from 1966, Bagged Place, a giant totalising scheme of plastic, in 'Rebecca's flat' on the top floor of 56 Artillery Lane. This remarkable period apartment was given intact to Raven Row by the family of Rebecca Levy who occupied the building between 1918 and 2009. Adam Chodzko's installation develops out of an attempt to install a giant palm tree bursting out of Raven Row's main gallery and through the green roof above. It weaves documentary and science fiction, connecting the palm to mulberry bushes, and the insects that feed off each to the agencies attempting to control their propagation.
