Messages from a Silent River is a multi-disciplinary exhibition inspired by the lost course of the Walbrook River that runs under the City of London.
About
The hidden Walbrook River - running underground - in front of 1 Poultry, is the inspiration behind Messages from a Silent River, located in what was the cafe of this iconic postmodern office block.
Once an open waterway in Roman London and now a silent presence beneath The City. The theme provides a lens for the artists of Ground Collective to explore a range of ideas, from the city's forgotten past to the urgent realities of the global climate crisis. Weaving together sculpture, painting, installation, printmaking and video, the exhibition is informed by walks taken in the area with artist and mudlarker Mark Sowden.
Ground Collective is made up of eight multidisciplinary artists, a poet, and changing guest contributors. United by a shared interest in place, they create work in response to walks and encounters with the everyday - gathering materials, impressions, and ideas from both rural and urban environments.
