Book Launch + Readings: Eline McGeorge, Lucy Mercer and Rachael Allen
Saturday 5 April 2025
The launch of Eline McGeorge’s latest publication crwa. A travel journal that combines texts, video stills, and watercolours, the book interweaves fictional and factual narratives to offer deeper insights into the artist’s environmental observations.
Comprising readings by McGeorge alongside poets Lucy Mercer and Rachael Allen, the programme closes with a listening session of Johanna Billing’s 7” vinyl single Listen, the Snow is Falling.
Drawing on the poetic and literary references that inform our current group exhibition The Hands that Shut the Sun, this event touches on the themes of deep observation and listening and the many ways that interspecies relationships might unfold.
The works in this exhibition consider the human hand in nature in many instances and propositions, sometimes extractive and hopeless, other times joyful and full of potential, poetry and resistance.
Artists:
