Haggard Caravan

18 Apr-1 Jun 2014

Overview

Haggard Caravan is the first British public exhibition by the contemporary artist and musician collaborative Solar Lice which comprises of Jeanne Graff, Tobias Madison, Flavio Merlo, Emanuel Rossetti and Stefan Tcherephnin with Gregory Ruppe and William Z Saunders. The site-specific installation takes direct inspiration from The Calder’s industrial heritage, riverside setting and anecdotal histories. Evoking and developing the idea of an architecture inhabited by unseen forces, the artists will be installing elements of the façade of a U.S.S.R. Swiss ghost-house ride onsite. Like the now empty warehouses in which The Calder is located, the various elements of the installation will conjure both actual and imagined histories and create an immersive architecture by means of site-specific sculptural interventions.
