Overview
You’re invited to join us for the opening of In a thread of air, a new solo exhibition by artist Imogen Stidworthy. The exhibition brings together a new installation, co-commissioned by Chapter and Matt’s Gallery, London, with three related installations and a short film. For over thirty years Stidworthy’s practice has engaged with different forms of voicing, reflecting on what it means to have a voice and what it means to listen. Her works develop through spending time with people who embody different ways of being. In the sonorous, spatialised forms of her installations and films, she explores how communication shapes our ways of sense-making and relationship with self and others.
