Silver Sehnsucht

Open 30th September to 8th October 2017 (excluding 2nd / 3rd October)
11am – 6pm or by appointment.

A multi-sensorial, immersive exhibition of sound, video, installation, performance and events by 12 artists from 6 countries.

Sometimes you can be nostalgic for what is yet to come. A strange feeling of longing for a future yet unknown.

Sometimes a space can do this, a space laden with time, a space filled with the past that is moving fast towards a future. A space inhabiting multiple temporalities, multiple tenses.

Silver Sehnsucht will critically reflect on both the odd merging of past, present and future that the German word Sehnsucht connotes, as well as the ways these are reflected in the surrounding area of Silvertown itself.

It will explore the bittersweet feeling which emerges from the increasing speed of contemporary world, the feeling of loss for something unknown in the anxious process of ushering in something new.

Artists: Brad Downey, Christopher Stead, James Bridle, Jazoo Yang, Khadija Von Zinnenburg Carroll, Mark Salvatus, Matterlurgy (Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright), Paola Torres Núñez Del Prado, Poklong Anading, Rosana Antoli and William Mackrell

Curated by Mara-Johanna Kölmel, Silvana Lagos and Rafael Schacter.
