On Tuesday the 22nd of July we’ll be headed to Pallas to check out Lucy Andrew’s exhibition ‘Earthly Remains’. If you’re interested please RSVP below. If I don’t receive any, it most likely won’t go ahead. Hope to see you there!

Lucy Andrews makes sculptures and site-specific installations. She is interested in the meeting of natural and human – made systems, and the places where those categories break down. Her work proposes a dynamic materiality which moves between the organic and inorganic, architectural and geological, grown and made. 

Earthly Remains is concerned with the idea of architecture as porous, volatile, and constantly in process. A building is a slippery interface between the ground it stands on and the bodies it hosts. The exhibition features kinetic elements, found objects and architectural interventions that describe traces of humans and of other forms of life. The artist is drawn to materials that amass or disintegrate over time, and in this body of work she combines lint, dust, and hair with domestic and architectural fragments in various states of activity and instability

The artists preoccupation with disrupting frontiers between inside and out is echoed in the way the exhibition’s components were gathered, such as preserving the bodies of insects who flew into her studio and died. While these organic specimens were collected indoors, various domestic objects were found on the street, expelled from their interior settings, showing traces of weather and water. With works that feature windows and drains, attention is drawn to thresholds and cavities. There is a sense of things temporarily holding together or left ajar. The building leaks, gurgles, pulses, renews itself.
