“Accretion presents sculptural work that speaks of and to the body, enticing and confronting audiences by unsettling the distance between viewing bodies and objects. Featuring work by Emma Magnusson-Reid, Laura Purcell and Olly Read, the exhibition explores how the body materially and metaphorically accretes meaning through materials, histories, and interactions. The works occupy an uneasy expression of being human and more-than-human, formed from the remnants and detritus of mundane acts of care for and presentation of the body. Inhabiting the gallery space, the works encase and entangle, suggesting their own corporeal animation: an/other life that will be further activated through sound and movement at points throughout the exhibition, in collaboration with musicians and dancers.”
