Spacemakers and Roomshakers exhibition.
Experience some of the most immersive and expansive artworks in the Gallery’s collection.
Employing light, sound, fabric, air, spices, these artworks also use the space of the gallery as a medium to be filled, tested, stretched, altered and above all energised. In the process, they enlist gallery-goers as collaborators, test subjects and ‘space explorers’ in distinctive sensory worlds.
You smell Ernesto Neto's 'Just like drops in time, nothing', 2002 before you see it.
Various spices (cinnamon, ginger, tumeric, cardamon just to name a few) surround the base of each drop.
I felt the urge to eat an Indian curry by the time I left this exhibition!
'Atomic: full of love, full of wonder' 2005, by Nike Savvas was a colourful, visual delight and great fun to photograph.
Unfortunately I'm unable to add one of the videos I took when fans blew on them every 10 mins or so to make them vibrate.
'Alien toy painting', 2011 by Yinka Shonibare was a fun galaxy of mini figures that lined the entrance to the exhibition.
