Part of Dulwich Open House
The Incidentals
Landing and Gowan Room
Curated by Sarah Sparkes and Jane Millar
Artists’ products gather to form heaps on the floor, or thrown on to hooks, waiting to be sorted, used or worn.
In these rooms no artworks are displayed as final or fixed, there are no frames or plinths. In this way the curators present art works in a state of liminality, of flux, and therefore as having agency and personhood. The theme of Incidentals as ‘sundries’, extras and props in storage, is developed through the use of cupboards, a fireplace, and a carpeted floor. Everyday and extraordinary, the Inconsequential is full of potency and mysterious significance.
Artists: Vanya Balog, Helen Barff, John Bunker, Paul Cole, Alison Cooke, Karen David, Rebekah Dean, Roland Hicks, Sandra Lane, Simon Leahy-Clark, Chris Marshall, Campbell McConnell, Jane Millar, Robert Rivers, Kate Squires, Sarah Sparkes, Carrie Stanley, Helen Turner, Poppy Whatmore, Lucy Woollett, Belinda Worsley.
