Hot in Here explores a state of transformation aligning with the summer's heat, showing multidisciplinary works that appear out of control. In that middle state, where vessels shift, boundaries are breached and realities slide out of focus.
The London summer brings us euphoria - it is clear our brain chemistry changes, and the rigidness of winter melts away. However, alongside the joy it also brings discomfort, physically and psychologically. We are sticky and sweaty. We anticipate this fleeting period of summer, only to be confronted with the depths of winter yet again.
This exhibition looks at the dichotomy between our expectations and reality, reflecting on the perpetual cycle of yearning for this utopian state of mind. Artworks take the form of ‘melting’ sculptures, charred remains of food, sinking ships and expanding paintings.
