LONDON.- Haunch of Venison London presents a solo exhibition of Scottish artist Katie Paterson and the UK premiere of her project 100 Billion Suns.

Her projects make use of sophisticated technologies, from satellites to telescopes, and specialist expertise of a range of scientists to stage intimate, poetic and philosophical engagements with nature,ecology, geology and cosmology. This exhibition – launching Haunch of Venison’s new gallery space in Fitzrovia -presents a selection of recent projects including Ancient Darkness TV, 2009, The Dying Star Letters, 2010 and 100 Billion Suns, 2011. This exhibition is the first UK presentation
