EVENT: Gallery Opening Nervous Lines – Martin Seeds and Felix Shumba | Koop Projects, Brighton. 6pm Friday 8 March 2024 Opening. Exhibition until 6 April 2024
Nervous Lines will open at Koop Projects, Brighton. Friday 8th March, 6pm
This exhibition is the culmination of conversations over time and distance between Martin Seeds and Felix Shumba, both of whom are artists engaged with the history of occupation in their respective home countries of Northern Ireland and Zimbabwe. The exhibition explores the effects (during and enduring) of conflict from the parallel perspectives of two people from opposite hemispheres and seemingly disparate backgrounds, who share the experience of growing up in countries subject to violence and occupation by external forces. It asks questions about the physical and imaginary boundaries drawn through and around the places and people who remain when war ends.
Felix Shumba will exhibit new drawings made during his residency in Sharjah, UAE and a video piece Views if for pores and memory for chest drawers. Martin Seeds will present works from his latest projects: A Sudden Vanishing, and Surface Tensions as well as a site-specific installation.
