The extraordinary house 575 Wandsworth Road provides a leaping-off point - a Georgian terraced house turned into a living artwork by Kenyan-born poet, novelist, mathematical philosopher, and civil servant, Khadambi Asalache (1935-2006). ArtLacuna, a Wandsworth-based contemporary project space and artist-led studios carved out of a disused Coroners Office; provides the contemporary dialogue.
Trained as an architect, Khadambi Asalache wanted to find a self-styled “head in the sand” solution to disguise persistent damp in his basement dining room. He went on to embellish almost every wall, ceiling and door in the house with exquisite fretwork patterns and motifs, which he hand-carved from reclaimed floorboards and wooden panelling. Participating artists have been invited to create an immersive installation projected onto the walls of Art Lacuna gallery, whereby each piece will be displayed for 4 minutes every hour, resulting in 15 solo shows per hour during the 3-day exhibition. By exploring the syncopation and fusion of visual traditions of pattern making and motif, the exhibition reflects on the implications of pattern recognition in our lives.
