SHIFTING GROUND OFF-SITE: THAMES, LONDON
9th October 2017, 4.30-7.30am

Caro Williams joins a group of New Zealand artists with an off-site component from London.
While the Auckland exhibition takes place within the chambers of a converted silo, Caro’s Dawn Vigil reflects on a working silo from across the waters in London with a time overlap between exhibition and vigil.
SHIFTING GROUND addresses the specific past of the Silo’s utility as being both made of concrete and a container of concrete. Concrete, an ancient and modern composite material, is activated in this project as a generative linguistic device in order to consider the possibility of the group exhibition as a gestalt form – where strength, flexibility, tension and reinforcement structure an unfolding dialogue.
