A free exhibition featuring work by some of Somerset House's first Studio residents.
Studio 01 highlights include artist avatar LaTurbo Avedon’s virtual nightclub and fashion designer Gareth Pugh’s sculptural installation of The Tempest’s Sycorax to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.
Inés Cámara Leret, an artist who turns DNA into tangible objects, will show her Memory Stone imprinted with participants’ breathes, and design practice Superflux will present a fictional court case Dynamic Genetics vs. Mann, whose suite of evidence set in a laboratory imagines the implications posed by a world of mandatory health insurance, genetic risk profiling and backstreet gene-fixing.
Participating Artists:
Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, Deborah Pearson, Erica Scourti, Gareth Pugh, Ines Camara Leret, Larry Achiampong, Memo Akten, Minimaforms, LaTurbo Avedon, Superflux and Werkflow.
Curated by Estela Oliva in Association with Somerset House Studios.
