Overview

We are pleased to present the first solo show in London of works by pioneering artist Kiki Kogelnik. Drawing inspiration from the allegorical Danse Macabre, or the Dance with Death, this exhibition will include works that are emblematic of the artist’s profound exploration of the future possibilities—and perils—of outer space, and her relationship to the altered and abstracted twentieth-century body. Incorporating work spanning three decades of production, The Dance showcases Kogelnik's unique, futuristic visual language as a means in which to communicate the universal fragility of terrestrial life.
