Silian Gallery is delighted to present group exhibition, ‘Speculative Land(e)scapes’, featuring newest works by artists Paola Estrella, A B Fresh, Serena Huang, Toby Tobias Kidd, Adele Lazzeri, and Yukako Tanaka. The group exhibition commences alongside the opening of Kensington and Chelsea Arts Week 2024 on 21st June, and will be on view until 2nd August, 2024.
Inspired by Kensington and Chelsea Arts Week 2024’s theme of ‘Changing Landscapes’, the exhibition invites the six artists, who have previously shown together as the Pragmata Performance Group, to move away from their usual performance-based collective practice, and instead visit their diversely dispersed interests and intersections of research in the territory of image and object. The works on view map their shared interests in critical and conceptual approaches across landscapes of textiles, printmaking, paper, and paint.
From thousand years ago in Mexico, to the lost islands within lost lands of Southeast Asia and Southern Europe; archeological archives of peat fields, to a humble London garden; and the Theory of Evolution to a single line of an imaginary map. ‘Speculative Land(e)scapes’ presents an exploration across realms of fictions, facts, and the imaginary.
