GLOAM presents: Locusts of the Sickly Sun
An exhibition about precarity and permeance: an emergency exit light with its protective cover replaced by a cast pine resin panel that releases a subtle scent when warm; a nebulous formation of wetware all together synthetic, biological and technological; and a sculpture made of pale-yellow glass, the colour of decline.
The register of materiality: resin, polyurethane foam, polyester, steel wire, silicone, mica, atomised rubber, clear lacquer, grass scent, chlorophyll, chromium oxide, synthetic hair, a buffalo horn gua sha tool, marble dish, LED office lighting panel, aluminium & glass, all tied to the economic and ecological. This exhibition is a sentiment to that which is pervasive: insecurity in our contemporaneous present. It is an inaudible monologue to the afflicted, of which there are many, and forecasts plagues to come.
Opening Night: Friday July 26 (6–9pm).
Saturdays 12–4 and by appointment: between July 27–August 18, 2024.
Exhibiting artists: Speculative Proxy, Alexandra Searle & Joel Wycherley
Curated by GLOAM Co-director Victoria Sharples.
Supported by Sheffield City Council.
