In search of Alchemic times explores the notions of transformation, demise and regeneration, examining how commonplace resources are reconfigured or repurposed to conjure up new utopias.

4th August-3rd September

Cecilia Wee curates a group of artists using installation, text, sculpture, drawing, performance and moving image to explore the notion of Alchemy. Occupying a former Victorian jewellery shop in the Brompton Design District, the crystal is a central reference point for the exhibition – its position as an object of value is symptomatic of an economically precarious age, its robust formation illustrates conversion and collaboration of materials. As well, the crystal holds much importance for Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy of individuation, a structure that connects the sand grain to the cosmos. By inspecting the process of becoming and what happens before forms solidify, we can acknowledge the magical facets of decay and revival.

Featuring: Aura Satz, Charlesworth, Lewandowski & Mann, Jennifer Walshe, Liliane Lijn, Nathan Witt, Peter Lewis and Makiko Nagaya, Rowena Harris, Steven Ounanian, Tom Badley, Unrealised Projects.
