Opening next Thursday 13 August at SET Lewisham, “On the Nose” is a dynamic group exhibition focusing on humour, eschewing and challenging the falsely assumed severity of contemporary art.
Through painting, installation, and sculpture, various artists are given space to approach the subject matter in unique and captivating ways while maintaining the integrity of their respective crafts: paying homage to popular forms of culture, childhood play, and folklore.
“On The Nose” also uses SET Lewisham as a space to showcase a range of artists and practitioners working in zine production, featuring the work of illustrators and designers dedicated to print, forming a modern archive of tactile and experimental publishing.
The exhibition is co-curated by Sasha Mills and Joseph Dalton, MA students within the Visual Cultures Department at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Contributing artists
David Sappa
David Sappa works between sound sculpture, improvisation and field recording, with a dense smudge between. Their projects emerge via site-responsive processes, exploring found and discarded things.
Erif Brooks Price
I want to use my body as a tool to communicate the somatic to an audience. Being horny, being scared, being upset, finding it all funny, passing from me to you.
Gabriel Moreau
Gabriel Moreau is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice examines the conditions of contemporary image culture and the accelerated circulation of digital media.
Iris McConnell
Iris McConnell is a multimedia artist from London currently studying on the MFA Fine Art programme at Goldsmiths University.
Joseph Dalton
Joseph Dalton is a writer and artist. His work concerns the interplay between virtual, digital aesthetics and online social practices and how these dynamics relate to more traditional forms.
Laura Hornsby
Laura is a British interdisciplinary artist and designer. Often interested in labour and visibility, their work moves between the silly and the serious.
Lily Bunney
Lily Bunney is a London-based artist whose work explores the emotional landscapes of digital culture.
Rosa Klerkx
Rosa Klerkx is an artist working across video, performance, photography and sound. She creates layered compositions and installations that emptiness, disconnection, alienation and belonging.
Sam Bramwell
My practice explores how objects mediate built environments, examining maintenance, infrastructure and systems of organisation through sculpture, installation and site-specific interventions.
Florence Apple
Across video, sculpture, and performance, Florence explores shifting states of damnation and salvation, drawing equally from high-culture canon and low-culture detritus.
