Artist Talk: Annie Trevorah in conversation with Jo Baring

About

With her sculptures Annie Trevorah conjures an alien species defined by adaptive features that safeguard survival in a precarious future. Her part human/ part plant hybrids have stood their ground in galleries, parks and gardens. Plant Power marks their propagation into the hustle and bustle of an office environment. Groups of sensual cyborgs and symbiotic totems are huddled in opposite corners, exchanging water cooler stories under the watchful gaze of their mutant supervisors, whose predatory and fallible characteristics serve as reminders of the effects of climate change on all life-forms. Fusing organic and synthetic materials into intriguing monuments to human-plant interconnectivity, Trevorah merges eco-feminist theory with subtle humour to encourage reflection and reassurance. On 14 May the artist will be in conversation with art historian and curator Jo Baring, as well as presenting Female Gaze, an intervention installation of new works. Please join us before and after the talk at The Dartmouth Castle, 26 Glenthorne Road, London W6 0LS
