A remarkable exhibition of the work of Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva: Making Beauty, for which I am co-curator. It has already had a soft summer opening in Nottingham but its formal preview will take place on 22nd September at the Djanogly Gallery. The show combines Elpida’s two major projects of 2015 – her exhibition in the Vatican Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and then only one month later a new installation at Fabrica Brighton - into one new architectural interpretation.
The private view is on 22 September when I will be giving a talk from 6-7pm: Material Culture. A smaller version of Making Beauty will be shown at Danielle Arnaud Gallery in London in early 2017.
The summer launch of Making Beauty has led to some excellent publicity.
