SNAILS FOR EYES
Nov 16 - Dec 14, 2019 FINAL WEEK
Saelia Aparicio | Jack Bodimeade | Naomi Gilon | Maria Gondek | Guy Marshall-Brown | Anna Reading
snails for eyes is about the sea and its unknown depths. The works in the exhibition are tender studies of; resourcefulness, myth, lost relics, rituals, sunken islands, tourism, bubbling waters and outer space.
 
The exhibition takes its title from the Buxton Mermaid ‘...made from wood, cloth, wire, carved bone and fish scales. She had snails for eyes’. The Buxton Mermaid is an example of the practice of mermaid making popular in the mid-nineteenth century. These sculpted objects were often made by fishermen and occasionally passed as real mermaid relics. Gazing at the dried and leathery body of this merrow, you can imagine it back in the sea, its skin supple and softened again...

FREEZE-FRAME, FAST-FORWARD
Nov 8 - Dec 14, 2019 FINAL WEEK
The Koppel Project Central is pleased to present Freeze-frame, Fast-forward, a show of works that ‘stop the clock’ at various points in the constant stream of moments which become memories and experiences, which in turn form the substance of our lives. ‘Freezing the frame’ allows us us some breathing room for reflection, analysis, and meditation. The show contrasts the fast-moving stream of our present-centred lives with the singular moments which give substance to the transitory. Reimagining history; catching the ephemeral; and weaving in political stories, social experiences and personal archives, the artists examine and respond to a variety of moments through highly individual approaches to a wide range of media.

PURITY, DANGER, DIRTY RE-ARRANGER
Dec 5 - 16, 2019 FINAL WEEK
Zoë Mendelson's new work aligns with and critiques diagnostic criteria pathologising space. It also responds to Mary Douglas’ 1966 book on taboo and cleanliness, 'Purity and Danger'. These are dirty archives - works in which schema are established via placement, but what is being stored presents a problem of either cleanliness or possible collapse. This exhibition connects the domestic and clinical, provoking dialogues around consumption, excess and hygiene - located within a configuration of overlapping drawing, animation, painting and objects - a library of potentially pathological elements.
 
A large wall-drawing, will take the run of the show to complete, a form of sullying and exertion - spatial ‘madness’ in itself - with an emptying and clearing process to follow.

LYLE PERKINS : WAYS AND MEANS
Nov 8 - Dec 14, 2019 FINAL WEEK
In Lyle Perkins’ first exhibition at Lychee one, he presents a series of recent paintings, which though varied in subject matter, all seem to frame everyday reality in an uncanny way. The compositions derive from photographs that are often reconfigured or retaken until the resulting image closes in on both the original fixation and the imminent painting. Many of the scenes are found during walks between home and studio, or in other prosaic moments. On encountering them, the structure of reality sometimes slips and things begin to obey a different kind of logic or be saturated in a kind of hyper-reality.
