Exhibition 'Can’t Do Hard Sun Whim'
Opening on August 5 at 17.00
Curated by Lieven Lahaye and Anu Vahtra
Can’t Do Hard Sun Whim brings together artists and designers whose work relates in different ways to ideas of light and wear – either as material processes or conceptual conditions. Light can be seen as a physical phenomenon as well as a condition of visibility and perception; wear as a force for erosion and transformation, as well as an act of carrying, inhabiting or being worn. Through wearable sculpture, monoprint, quilt, cyanotype, slideshow, video and installation, the exhibition explores how materials, bodies and images are transformed through time, contact and environmental conditions.
The exhibition title is drawn from writer Duncan Smith’s essay “Australis”: "I tend to stay away from too much sun because it's so hard for me to tan with ease, unless I'm methodical, but then that becomes tiresome. Even my name Duncan Howard Smith can become totally anagrammatized into Can’t Do Hard Sun Whim." *
