IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES focuses on three contemporary artists who make
use of familiar objects, images and samples from everyday life to
disconcert the viewer, and question the relational quality of meaning.
Through their individual practices, and using disparate media they
explore the Unheimlich (Unhomely) and they way it penetrates the
everyday. Jenny Lu, for example, uses video to examine suicide in a
clinical and emotionally distant manner, while Miranda Lopatkin creates
haunting images that combine the domestic with a ghostly human presence.
Their work also examines romance and idealism and how assumptions and
values of this nature can easily be confounded. Jenny Clarke uses
questions quoted from recent number one hit songs, which when gathered
together question social and cultural values.
Together the artists interrogate the relationship between art, and
cultural and social identity.
Jenny Clarke, Jenny Lu and Miranda Lotpatkin are all MA Fine Art
graduates from Central Saint Martins.
SHOW RUNS: 1 - 17 AUGUST FRI-SUN - 6pm
