2nd July - 31st August 2021
This installation was originally made as a response to the physical artefact of the new version of the 4m2 gallery recently constructed at ASC’s Art House Studios in Croydon. The installed work took the physical artefact of the 4m2 gallery – locally titled “The Cube” – as its starting point, interpreting it as a 1:1 model sitting within the double-height space. Its status as both art object and work of architecture is then echoed in the response, and the works housed within it can be similarly considered to be an art/architecture hybrid. Exhibited in each of the Cube’s four vitrine windows was a different form and scale of architectural model reconstruction of the Cube Gallery itself. Now brought to its sister version in Peckham, the installation becomes a more distant echo of the pavilion gallery in which it was originally housed – rather than referring only to the single instance of the 4m2 gallery in Croydon, the remounting of the installation in Peckham draws the other instances of this exhibition pavilion into focus.
