Overview

Object 77b brings to the space new and recent works by Ludvig Gustafsson, Felicity Hammond and Anna Reading. The exhibition borrows its title from the 1971 book Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. This Russian science fiction novel is about humans dealing with strange artefacts left on Earth after a mysterious alien visit, and depicts a world that is coarse, hopeless and in a chronic state of social decay. Exhibiting together for the first time these artists reflect upon similar tropes whilst remaining distinct in their approach to material and the context of their surroundings.
