UNRELATED OXIDES
Fold Gallery
London, UK
August 7 - August 23 2009
...the immobile outer walls and towers not quite able to hold in equal stillness all the disparate inner parts. It was hardly surprising, when one considered the different portions of the earth and living world that had been plundered to fill the place: unrelated oxides fused to make glass and flattened into windows framed by felled and sliced trees; marble quarried and carved into decorative mantelpieces on which sat lamps compounded of different or unwilling metals; powdery plaster fixed by water in a brittle firmness unnatural to both. It was only to be expected that a little restlessness be shown at night – an aching of elemental parts which stretched to find their former selves. [Excerpt from The Girl at the Lion d'Or, Sebastian Faulks, 1990. page 118-119]
Fold Gallery is pleased to present Unrelated Oxides co-curated by Natasha Bailey, Joshua Kim and Wendy McLean in collaboration with Fold Gallery. Eight artists present work in correlation with the above quote, from which the exhibitions title also comes.
