It’s Coming From Inside
Bell House, 27 College Rd, Dulwich, London SE21 7BG
13- 21 May, 2023Sarah Sparkes and Jane Millar invited artists to exhibit across two rooms in Bell House, Dulwich. In their thinking about the paintings of Impressionist Berthe Morisot, currently showing across the road at the Dulwich Picture House and the exhibition’s broader theme of ‘Windows and Thresholds’, the curators see the two different domestic spaces, and the liminal corridors between them, as places expressive of dialogues in both Morisot’s and their invited artists’ works: of confines, dreams of escape, of external inscrutability and internal passion.Gardner’s work Mycelium Shroud is shown worn by a model in a digital image on aluminium sheet and as a physical body wearable. Mycelium Shroud shifts our human-centric gaze on the world through ceremonial dress; it invites considerations of our entanglement with other living species, our shared evolutionary history with fungi and the importance of these interconnected experiences.
