London Based Artist Laura Wilson Presents New Works at Siobhan Davies

LONDON.- London based artist Laura Wilson presents a number of new works which respond to the building and its history. Her work lies in investigating the everyday through various media and the exhibition features two live performances alongside drawings on glass, sculpture and video. Performance art events: • January 19th, 7pm and 8pm: Blind Building takes place in the tower block of the London College of Communication in Elephant and Castle, a few minutes walk from Siobhan Davies Studios. Viewers watch from street level a 15 minute choreographed performance of the raising and lowering of blinds within the building. href=http://www.siobhandavies.com target=”_blank”>Siobhan Davies Studios.

The sizzle of each match is amplified and the performer illuminated before discarding the match and starting again until all the matches have been used. After
