A major art exhibition exploring the ways in which our bodies encounter and process our environments is well underway at Site Gallery, running until 22nd December 2022.
Curated by Site Gallery’s Angelica Sule and Robyn Haddon, alongside artist Laura Wilson, IN-SIDE-OUT-SIDE-IN takes a look at digestive systems on a micro and macro level, from the interior of the body to the systems of a city or the ecologies of a landscape, to understanding histories of food and formations of land and architecture, the programme is structured around Laura Wilson’s sculpture Ladybower.
Bringing to life digestive processes, the work takes the idea of the hole as both an entry and exit point, a barrier between the inside and outside, it can be a portal between worlds – it consumes, and it vomits.
IN-SIDE-OUT-SIDE-IN hosts Wilson’s new work entitled Gutted, a script, performance, audio and installation, investigating gut processes, instincts and ecosystems. Additionally, the exhibition features work by seven internationally renowned artists such as Helen Chadwick, Phoebe Collings-James, Charles and Ray Eames, Eva Fàbregas, Shana Moulton, Poppy Nash, Tai Shani and the aforementioned Laura Wilson.
The works sit alongside archival material from Picture Sheffield, Sheffield City Archives and University of Nottingham Archives to show the loops and systems of the city alongside the body.
