'Alaria' exhibition private view - 6:00 pm-8:00 pm
The Gerald Moore Gallery, Gerald Moore Gallery, Mottingham Lane (Opposite Layzelle Walk), London, SE9 4RW
The Gerald Moore Gallery is pleased to present 'Alaria', an exhibition that brings together new work by Eiko Soga, Esther Teichmann, and Miriam Austin, each offering sensual and imaginative engagements with landscapes shaped by water: island, swamp, and fen. The succession of seasons, the growth of a foetus, the skin of an eel, the overhang of a branch, and the play of light on water – these are some of the gestures that bind the artworks together and might also tempt us away from the destructive binaries of human/nonhuman, natural/artificial.
The private view will be on Thursday 1st May from 6 to 8pm and the exhibition runs from 28th April to the 24th May 2025.
The works in 'Alaria' lead us into a brackish entanglement with the more-than-human and the hyper-natural. The title of the show refers to the genus of kelp that includes Alaria esculenta, widely eaten and also known as Atlantic Wakame, Badderlocks, or Láracha. Food, wetlands and bodies combine in sculpture, installation, photography and video by three artists concerned with the lived experience of the landscape, the body as a site of knowledge production. A concern with narrative leads us to reflect on the imaginative space of nature: how this can be a place of resistance in a time of extractive industry and the politics of exclusion – how listening, looking, tasting and feeling create kinship relations that trouble the human/nonhuman binary.
These artworks are grounded in the lived and embodied experience of specific environments, from the swamps of the Black Forest in Germany where Teichmann grew up, to the island of Hokkaido, Japan, where Soga has worked since 2016 in dialogue with indigenous Ainu elders, to the course of the River Great Ouse, which runs through the drained wetlands of Eastern England, site of Austin’s recent research and home to generations of her family.
Austin is currently the Artist-in-Residence at Eltham College and the exhibition is part of her residency programme.
