Past Event
Taking its title from geological terminology, in this final event as Writer in Residence Rachel Pimm is joined by special guest readers Fer Boyd and Katrina Black for a staged reading of collected texts on landscapes. Informed by the practice known as geophagy, readings are accompanied by a tasting menu of earth-based appetisers, producing live landscape-to-mouth aggregations.
Unfortunately, this event was canceled. You can find below a post by Rachel Pimm and Fer Boyd related to this event.
Rachel Pimm (b. Harare, 1984, lives in London) works in sculpture, video and performance to explore environments and their materialities, histories and politics often from the point of view of non-human agents such as plants, minerals, worms, water, gravity or rubber. They are interested in the potential of surfaces and matter to transform. Their work has been included in recent programmes including Hales Gallery, Jerwood Space, ANDOR, Tenderpixel and Chisenhale Gallery, The Royal Academy and Serpentine Gallery (all London 2014-2019) as well as internationally in Europe and the USA. They have an MFA from Goldsmiths and lectures in Fine Art at Camberwell College.
