What art have I seen? Peter Kennard
Archive of Dissent at Whitechapel. We agreed that some more of the context, of Greenham Common for instance, could have been good. Somehow everything being ‘the work’ misses the point of collage maybe? If collage is the recomposition of reality, should the exhibition be only the collages when they become historical?
What art have I seen? Code Red and Forever Changes
Peter Kennard’s raging photocollages railing against oil and extractivism, pollution, nuclear weapons.
Hydro infrastructure juxtaposed with fabric covered glaciers.
Tim Collins reckoned this was the best of the exhibitions on during the Climate Talks.
What art have I seen? KennardPhillips and Holoturian
KennardPhillipps (Peter Kennard and Cat Phillipps) Here Comes Everybody at Stills is immediately angry: angry about Shell drilling in the arctic, angry about George Osborne, angry about media manipulation.
Ariel Guzik’s work Holoturian in Trinity Apse courtesy of Arts Catalyst, is a slow steampunk meditation on the parallel lives of cetaceans.
