Without

Without is a collaboration between Sally Underwood and Roxy Walsh. Their ongoing research explores how artworks co-habit gallery spaces, and how those spaces are inhabited by the bodies within it. Dwellings, small architectures, paintings and wall paintings are central to these explorations: artworks sited within other artworks.
UnderwoodWalsh were invited by Karen Knorr and Daniel Blight to make a site specific installation for Chandelier Projects, housed in the studio of Karen Knorr in Hackney, for the spring of 2015.
Following on from their installation at Art Exchange (See Outwith), a tree was central to this installation. Here, away from the parkland, a lone tree alongside a giant egg, a park bench not fit for sitting, and imagistic paintings (a figure, a dick-duck, a shadow in pink grass) alongside patches of architectural colour.
An accompanying text was commissioned from Simon Clark. The finissage, on 16th May, also featured a poetry reading by Liz Berry and a performance by Simon Clark.
