Garden at the End of Time
Tin Sheds Gallery | 6 June - 19 July 2024
Garden at the End of Time explores the garden as a politically and culturally charged site. Within the walls of the gallery, the garden becomes construed as a place where meaning is not only reflected but also constantly cultivated, and negotiated—an ever-evolving ecosystem rather than an ossified microcosm. While the garden is often tied to its Edenic “beginning,” anthropologist Natasha Myers suggests how contemporary gardens increasingly respond to a sense of the end. In our time of climate catastrophe and late stage capitalism, she describes how gardens “throw us into the world, induce anxiety, and get us very interested in the urgency of life and death at the cusp of collapse on a damaged planet.” Propelled by this urgency, Garden at the End of Time asks what radical ideas stir and grow in the garden today?
Radical Slowness
The Lock Up | March - May 2022
In Radical Slowness, the never-ending cadence of our everyday gives way to a different pace: slow time. Through a series of artistic interventions, the exhibition pulls into focus a multitude of temporalities that usually exist out of sight. Within the historical walls of The Lock-Up, new visions appear: an ocean of digital water endlessly laps around the base of a stone, an alarm clock is caught in the half-seconds that follow midnight, and two galaxies slowly hurtle towards one another, destined to meet in four billion years. Here, time is reframed. It is rescued from a state of dormancy, and is revealed to be the very solvent of existence—an invisible substance which our bodies wade through every day.
