Coleman Project Space is delighted to open its doors in 2024 with three tides passed, a solo exhibition of new work by Bernice Donszelmann.

About

The London-based Canadian artist will create a new sited work that draws from the human histories of surrounding Southwark’s riverside-settlement location and the bodily dynamics of video-art performance.

Donszelmann works in a variety of media, but is known for her quietly effective architectural interventions that bring attention to the vagaries of built environments; how we use and encounter them. Often, they require a willingness of investigation – sometimes to locate them in a space, but in this case, to traverse it. In the main gallery, she will present a floor-based work resembling packing crates – objects associated with the movement of essential or high-status things as much as urban detritus.

The ground as a shifting territory forms the basis of a new film works by Donszelmann that will feature in the Shed space, referencing seminal 1970s performance videos by Bruce Nauman*. For this series, he devised exercises where performers lie on the floor and imagine sinking into it or the possibility of it rolling up over them. In Donszelmann’s restaging, the subject is distorted, edited into a granular segue of limbs, neither floating nor falling.
