A Conversation with Water

About

Curated by Lorraine Snape and Eva Brá Barkardóttir

Featuring Maria Konder, Rosie Dahlstrom, Dirk Tsai, Lizzie Cardozo, Alexandra Errington, Simon Job, Stephen Nulty, Anita Agarwal, Michael Poole, Coline Le Quenven, Shuyi Gao, Lorraine Snape and Eva Brá Barkardóttir.

Kindly supported by Get Living and East Village London, in partnership with HYPHA Studios. A Conversation with Water is sited in a former Sainsbury’s supermarket.

A group of thirteen emerging artists present works relating to water, a most essential but often overlooked substance. Offering work which incorporates sculpture, kineticism, construction and installation; that investigates the boundaries of painting, print, video and performance. From the fragmentation of information to notions of time, place and temporality; exploring feminine identity through nature and surrealism. Exploiting speculative processes, which lead to enigmatic organic compositions; assuredly performative in nature, relating to the here and now.
