Performance by Linda Zagidulina 12th October
*Hot Wheels of Karma* is a group exhibition, showing works by seven artists who are primarily based in sculpture coordinated by Linda Zagidulina, Dolly Kershaw and Georgia Kerr.
*Hot Wheels of Karma* draws parallels between various forms of resistance in making sculpture. With a shared frustration for tropes of sculptural expression, often defined as feminine, they instead show the slapstick karma within objects, revealing disobedience and provocation.
The window box space unveils scenes of gliding casts, reliefs and intertwining bodily poses. The fiery wheels of fury are balanced with harmonic and gentle illusory forms, caught in moments of paradox and transience to be explored.
Text included in the show by Lu Rose Cunningham.
The group of artists has outstanding achievements in their field exhibiting in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia. The artists are recognised as exceptional voices with their practices; with Georgia Kerr receiving the Sue Jamieson Memorial Award, Dolly Kershaw being a visiting lecturer at University of Leeds and Linda Zagidulina awarded an ACE grant for her project engaging the general public. Currently, Georgia is continuing their education at the Royal Academy Schools.
