Cell Project Space presents a solo exhibition and programme by London and Brussels based British artist Ghislaine Leung.
About
For The Moves, Leung will present two newly commissioned large scale bodies of work incorporating text, sound and context specific structures. With a background in artists’ moving image discourse, Leung approaches production, exhibition and distribution as interdependent. Based on her experience of formal exhibition and event structures, her work uses this expanded range of material conditions to amplify, distend and fold together the mutual dependency of work and context. Neither medium specific nor conceptually predetermined, Leung's practice is editorial in the most material and rhythmic sense, incorporating breaths, repetitions and cadence. It is this compositional labour of subtraction that spans and meshes her works, doubling holes and constellating fragments, immersive in their evasion, opaque in their transparency. Here the terms of critique are more fluid than oppositional, felt through the skin and in the mouth.
In conjunction with The Moves at Cell Project Space, Leung will present Hollis & Money, an evening of video, readings & music, as well as a new performance conceived for audio podcast and recorded live within the exhibition.
