This Is Water 3 July - 12 September 2021 Aglaé Bassens Melissa Brown Dominique Fung Joel Kyack Becky Kolsrud Mevlana Lipp Laura Lancaster Ryan Orme James Prapaithong Will Peck Michael Stamm Water is both a starting and meeting point in Workplace's exhibition space in Haggerston. Here the works on display subtly interface with the landscape outside, bordering Regent's Canal. On this waterway, it turns out that art and water have something in common: flowing fast along different streams, they both transform the spaces they inhabit and are able to produce shapes, energy and colours, and create new worlds. Alluding, referencing or using water in their creation process, the works in the exhibition remind us of the pervading presence of this element in our life and our collective imagination. The exhibition is accompanied by a new poem written by Art Historian and Poet Ilaria Monti which was inspired by the gallery's location and the works in the show. The full poem is available to read on our website and in the gallery. | | WORKPLACE Reliance Wharf, Unit T 2-10 Hertford Road London, N1 5ET | | Image credit: James Prapaithong, Summer Blue(s), 2021. ©The artist.
