Chisenhale Gallery is delighted to invite you for a private viewing of a major new commission and first solo exhibition in the UK by Simnikiwe Buhlungu, hygrosummons (iter.01). Launching the East End Day of Frieze London 2024, welcome remarks and an introduction to the exhibition will be provided by Chisenhale Gallery’s Director, Zoé Whitley.
Through sound, film and text, as well as radio shows and publishing, Simnikiwe Buhlungu asks; how are knowledges encountered? Previous works have included theremins, cassette tapes and research with honey bees, to navigate the boundless potential answers that unfold and reshape as we – and our non-human counterparts – move through the world. Traversing disciplines from microbiology to genealogy, and locations from London to Johannesburg, Buhlungu’s commission takes the ‘puddle’ as both model and methodology to uncover the ways knowledges, histories and ecologies circulate and pool.
With special thanks to our event drinks sponsor Krone.
Booking is required, as capacity is limited.
