We look at the same thing and see different things.
We act in the same space and do different things.
We meet in a haze of interference; the sum output of the continual accretive engagement with all that is around us and that we are around. Each and every part in a game of orbiting intra-action and intra-weaving connections. Each moment registering, deciphering and re-registering. Making sense.
Four artists come together somewhere inside of this. They are good friends, old friends. They are familiar with the things that each other makes, but they are not the same person or a collective of persons, who just happen to be all looking at the same thing, at the same time, sometimes.
This exhibition is a moving on of things, forwards, sideways, upwards, backwards, inwards and outwards, shake it all about-wards. A juggling of position, creating and amplifying positive reactions as subtle differences interact. A structure that is essential in generating new and unexpected encounters. Alex Baker, Alexander Costello, Kit Poulson and NaoKo TakaHashi lean into this as a means to realise ideas, drawing them further beyond the inevitable event horizon.
Tension Fine Art, 135 Maple Road, London, SE20 8LP from 5th November – 16th December. Thursday to Saturday 11am – 5pm or by prior appointment.
