Reclamation
Andre Stitt is considered to be one of Europe's foremost performance and interdisciplinary artists and is identified with a strain of performance relating to visual art and 'Akshun'. His work focuses on difficult and traumatic themes: issues of oppression, freedom, coercion, subversion, alienation, appropriation of cultures, globalisation and communal conflict. His work physically and emotionally embodies the forces of capitalism and materialist addiction, processes of building and disintegration and the resulting journey toward redemption.
This new exhibition, commissioned and developed by Chapter, investigates memory and the interrogation of space as a primary vehicle for tracing its repression and recovery. The exhibition takes the form of two new installations; each contemplates power in relation to conditioned and colonised space.
An intervention by the artist will take place on the opening night Friday 8 April at 7pm. The artist will then create a series of performance interventions in the gallery throughout the exhibition: Saturday 16, 23 and 30 April and Sunday 8 May, 4-7pm.
Preview and Akshun: Friday 8 April, 7-9pm
