Exhibition period: 13 June–2 August


Desert Rose is a solo exhibition by Tyne Gordon that has developed from research into disused municipal buildings. Through patterns, objects and narratives contained in sites like racecourses and hospitals, Gordon produces new surfaces that reveal the social values embedded in such places. Following architectural and material cues, Desert Rose alters the gallery as speculation on the psychic afterlife of civic infrastructure.

This exhibition will be accompanied by a new three-part sonic composition by Maxine Funke, At Hilltop House.
