Hreinn Friđfinnsson, Bláhorn, 2010
Cornered Rooms
Facing In - Facing Out
Hreinn Friðfinnsson, Karim Noureldin, Anna Ostoya, Damien Roach, Egill Sæbjörnsson, Patrick Tuttofuoco
Placed within a 90º angle, one can either face in or face out. A corner can either cage or cradle. By bringing together ambitious installations, wall drawing and sculpture, Cornered Rooms examines whether this particular space of experience serves to reinforce our fears of entrapment, or whether it can create a positive space for reflection.
The corner is responsible for the awkward feeling of walls caving in and the impossibility of escape. By placing this situation alongside contemporary architecture's preoccupation with 'exit situations', the corner may serve as a metaphor for our social condition.
The exhibition will bring newly commissioned and previously unseen in the UK works by Hreinn Fridfinnsson (IS), Karim Noureldin (CH), Anna Ostoya (PL), Damien Roach (UK), Egill Sæbjörnsson (IS) and Patrick Tuttofuoco (IT).
