Poems for A Gap In the Door
An exhibition of artworks by Matt Feldman, Josh Philpott, Shirine Shah, and Yuhong Wang.
Curated by Josh Philpott.
Conditions Studios Projects Space exhibitions no. 1 of 4, 26th May - 4th June 2023
Conditions Studios Project Space, Croydon
An invitation written directly on the pane of glass over the exhibition space looking in, backwards looking out. Tape hiss escapes like steam through the gap in the door, open just a crack. Streetlights paint abstract and dazzling shapes into the lens of a handheld DV camera on a stumbling walk through Crystal Palace. A workspace is hidden by a 1:1 scale painting of itself. Taking poetic artworks that are neither poems nor written texts as a starting point, the selected artists present encounters, invocations, slippages, and secrets for visitors to discover.
A pamphlet to accompany the exhibition was available at the gallery.
