POLLY MORGAN: ‘ENDLESS PLAINS’ AT ALL VISUAL ARTS GALLERY
Opening June 8th at London’s All Visual Arts Gallery comes Polly Morgans new exhibit ‘Endless Plains’. Inspired by a recent trip to the Serengeti, this is the artists largest installation to date, and a bolder approach to scale seems necessary in her aim to confront spectators with the cyle of life, charting ‘the predator, the parasite and the prey’. Famed for her taxidermy, Polly breaks down the medium in exciting new ways in this group of works, almost literally in certain cases, with a series of images drawn with the frozen ashes of animals. Breathing life into a Victorian art form, Morgans creations are naturally imbued with a gothic quality, but death is explored with such an honesty that works become devoid of the spookiness normally associated. The curiosity required in creating them, seeming natural as opposed to morbid. Until July 31st:

‘My light installations use the ‘camera obscura’ as a point of departure. They are immersive optical environments, idealized spaces with discreet openings. In translating the outside world into moving fields of light and color, the projections make an argument for unfixed notion of sight.’
When you first set eyes on Japan-born, Berlin-based artist Chiharu Shiota’s work, you aren’t sure if you’re looking at an installation or a dark charcoal illustration. Though the piece echoes sketch-like imagery, it is in fact an installation piece involving a burnt piano in a room ravaged by black wool. The work known as In Silence is inspired by Shiota’s own traumatic memories as a child, having witnessed her neighbor’s house burn down. The charred piano is a direct memory of her neighbor’s grand piano blazed up in smoke.
There is a melancholic aura that hovers throughout the incinerated room filled with singed furniture. The miles of thread woven in, around, and through each item within the space adds a feeling of entrapment. The way it engulfs the room’s furnishings encapsulates the destructive and overwhelming nature of flames that have possessed one’s material properties.
