Everything’s Mustard by Sarah Roberts

michael — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 15:08:17 +0000

7 Nov — 4 Dec 2019

We are happy to announce our forthcoming exhibition Everything’s Mustard, an immersive mixed-media installation by artist Sarah Roberts, who has painstakingly made and collected yellow objects to amass a meticulous, yet arbitrary, new chromatic work.

Inspired by her experience of an epic clear out of her late Mother’s seaside bungalow in mid Wales after her death, Everything’s Mustard is a laboured construction that deals with loss, hoarding and discovery, through an aesthetic examination of our human commitment to collection and consuming.

The vitrine, populated with sculptures, found objects and fabric pieces, has become a time capsule of matter. Things are solidified and archived, but in their homogenous ‘yellow’, they evoke this sense of something new, unplaced, untethered.

The exhibition is an examination of the seduction and bizarre futility of collecting from an artist who is the daughter of a hoarder and a self-proclaimed material junkie, in the age of the Anthropocene.

Podium Sales by Luke Burton

michael — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 10:03:03 +0000

7 September - 27 October 2019
Unit 6 Aylesham Centre

We are delighted to announce a solo presentation by artist Luke Burton. Produced in response to Picnic's contextual and architectural characteristics, Podium Sales consists of an installation of painted cut-outs and hand-made flash sale signs that suggest a sport shop’s window dressing.

The exhibition is organised around two moments in the lifecycle of a commercial shop, it’s opening and it’s closing down. Depending on whether the viewer approaches the exhibition from the left or from the right, the installation gives a transition from the optimistic ‘Opening Soon’ to the pessimistic ‘Closing Down Sale’, and vice versa.

The cut-outs of sports equipment are humorously compressed and flattened. Burton is playing with the archetypal and symbolic qualities of these objects - basketballs, footballs, tennis rackets - reflecting on how they are stretched and distorted to fit many meanings: the aspirational ideals of success, perfection and competition found within sport and commerce alike. He is also transforming them into something more ambiguous, more akin to totemic sculpture with their anthropomorphic and mythical associations.

Burton is interested in the uncertainty of Picnic’s location, and it’s continually changing and precarious function. The installation acknowledges the original purpose of the window as a commercial space within the Aylesham Shopping Centre and explores the traction felt in converting these commercial units into a space for contemporary art - a shift that Peckham’s community has seen many times over in different parts of the area. Burton wants to suggest the inherent ambivalence of this relationship whilst also hinting towards Picnic’s own precarity in using the space.

Mobility by Jason Kerley

michael — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 10:09:42 +0000

12 July - 1 September 2019
Unit 6 Aylesham Centre

Jason Kerley is a collector of things. For his show Mobility, Kerley presents collections within a collection.

The objects he has chosen are drawn from all sorts of places: cheap toys and balloons, creative commons clip art, cartoon eyes and flowers. Through manipulating these objects Kerley explores the reproduction of real things, to create new, fake things. These fake things ultimately become their own thing, and take on a new strange identity detached from the original.

As objects they functions as copies, but as sculptures they function as a still life. They are given a new higher status now that they’re in the gallery.
Mobility questions the new symbolism of these objects now that they are displayed as ‘art’.

Thirsty by Naomi Fitzsimmons

michael — Thu, 23 May 2019 13:45:55 +0000

1 June - 7 July 2019
Private View: 31 May 7.30 - 9PM
Unit 6 Aylesham Centre

Picnic is delighted to announce Thirsty by Naomi Fitzsimmons, a new video installation exploring the surprisingly complex meanings that surround water.

Fitzsimmons is particularly interested in the way that even though water can seem so basic - sweat, tears, thirst, rain - it’s extremely significant and powerful. Water can be emotional, it can be political, and, being made into a product it can become commercial. Fitzsimmons uses found footage, adverts and song lyrics to highlight the absurdity of turning water into a commodity or political tool.

Thirsty is curated by Georgia Stephenson with the support of the Picnic team.
