The Beat & Within the Limitations - 9 to 19 October - Kaleidoscope Gallery, Sevenoaks TN13 1LQ / Drop-in Workshops 12 & 19 October 10.30-12.30 The Beat - 9 to 19 October - Echo's Studio, Sao Paulo, Brazil
A series of site-specific installations started in 2023. Each artwork comprised of over four to eight thousand compact discs, placed in various locations to highlight the pervasive concentration of non-biodegradable plastics discarded by a society constantly enticed to purchase new products, in the name of progress. These wonders of technology, illustrate the investment of billions around the turn of the millennium, which now, although obsolete, marks another line in the sedimentary geology that humans are leaving as part of the Anthropocene epoch. The focus in 2024 has expanded to utilise the clear compact disc cases, as the frame to contain two dimensional artwork with the open call Within the Limitations in February followed with The Beat in October, where small sculptures were placed in and on plinths constructed from multi coloured compact disc cases, known in it's virgin state as Jewels.
