HERE, I MADE THIS: DIALOGUES OF DISTANCE
Pollen Collective is delighted to announce their first London exhibition. Nine multidisciplinary artists have developed new ways of working in response to the challenges of the past year. The bold new work celebrates our relationships with domestic and natural spaces through material innovation and collaboration.
Thameside Studios What She Didn’t Say
Covid 19 meant an early close for this show that included expanded paintings, sculptures and weavings by four female artists. The work focused on the boundaries and spaces between our inner experience of being and what we are able to express to others; pieces lure you in with beauty but have an uneasiness and disquiet. Fragmented, translucent with traces of existence, but no humans present.
Pollen artist Rachel Goodison created spaces in between her playful sculptural forms, exploring the emotions we feel when surrounded by familiar materials presented in unfamiliar ways.
Wilderness Art Collective ExhibitionWilderness of the Mind
Geraldine van Heemstra has co-organised an online exhibition for The Wilderness Art Collective. Join for the opening on June 11th; there will be daily interviews, studio visits and demonstrations.
Stasi
Pollen Collective painter Amy Robson was in the process of making an artist’s book from her ‘Stasi’ series of paintings of the former East German Stasi Headquarters in Berlin. Then Covid hit. As a way to ‘print’ the book without using any paper or printing resources, she created a virtual ‘flipbook’ which can be shared widely - and for free (see link below). The series juxtaposes banal interior details such as kitchen tiles, telephones or net curtains with the unseen atrocities that were happening in the space.
MK Gallery - MK Calling 2020
MK Calling showcases the most dynamic work being made today including work by Royal Academicians, and alumni of The British Art Show, John Moores Painting Prize and New Contemporaries. The show features numerous pieces that address and challenge many contemporary issues such as the environment and the political climate, as well as a number of playful and performance works.

Holly Henry Gallery @ Art HubUnlucky Stars

Jane Deering Gallery - Keep Looking
