dalla Rosa is proud to present Jessie Brennan’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, which inaugurates our new London space at 3 Leighton Place, Kentish Town.
About
If This Were To Be Lost consists of a series of cyanotypes and recordings gathered by Brennan during a yearlong residency (2015-16) hosted by arts organisation Metal and in collaboration with The Green Backyard, a community garden in Peterborough threatened with a proposed development.
During her time as artist in residence Brennan repurposed a garden shed into a community darkroom, and together with trustees, volunteers, and users of The Green Backyard, she has documented the site in the form of a visual and audio archive, over 100 cyanotypes and more than 100 voices (oral recordings), a selection of which are on show at dalla Rosa.
To coincide with her solo exhibition, dalla Rosa will launch a series of four limited edition prints by Brennan based on the individual cyanotypes: Paper Bag, Cotton Lavender, Robin, and Ashtray (images below). A new publication titled Re: development: Voices, Cyanotypes & Writings from The Green Backyard will be published in October.
