Katrina Palmer - End Matter

The first exhibition at Chris Hammond Gallery is Katrina Palmer’s seminal 2015 work, End Matter, which was commissioned by Art Angel. This is the first time that the work has been shown outside of its original installation on the Island of Portland in Dorset.

Katrina Palmer

Katrina Palmer was selected as part of the 2013 Open call for proposals from Artangel and BBC Radio 4 which resulted in her 2015 work, End Matter.

Palmer lives in London, where she studied sculpture at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art. Through published stories, live readings and installed recordings, she proposes extended forms of writing as sculpture. The Dark Object, published by Book Works in 2010, narrates a series of power relations in a fictional art school. Palmer's work was included in 'Mirror City' at the Hayward Gallery, London in 2014. In 2015 her work was included in the group show The Weight of Data at Tate Britain and at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds where she has a solo-show. Her short story Relief (A Remote Object of Thought) is in the catalogue for 'Modern British Sculpture', Royal Academy of Art, London (2011) and The Fabricator's Tale was published by Book Works in 2014.
