ARTIST. FILMMAKER. HUMAN BEING.

Eight artists, in process, connected through the act of expanded print making. Here edges are boundaries of both resistance and submission, form and debris can be restructured and tensions co-exist as points of reflection and reconciliation. The body in the state of creating, becomes a site radical machine, where interactions with materials perform as an entangled exploration of the seen and unseen. By-products and the new, the past and present; this is an improvised jam session where misalignment, overloading and malfunctions are embraced. Hidden ruins are revealed, perspectives are challenged and the opportunity to shut down and restart are revealed through the act of making together. 

     What matters in this chaos? 

What do we salvage, what do we discard?  

Bona Vacantia is a declaration of faith in art practice, placing high value on the intangible, lost and ownerless. This will be the first solo show by Hackney based multidisciplinary artist, Nina Dellow, using moving image, sound, installation and collage.
