To mark HERVISIONS’ inaugural project of the year, the femme-focused art curatorial agency has commissioned London-based, South Korean artist Eunjo Lee to create a trilogy of 3D animated films exploring cycles of death and rebirth in the tangible, mythical and digital realms.

Scott Young's work explores how images and objects absorb and hold significance in strange and uncanny ways, dependent on context and lived experience. Central to his practice is the tension between dichotomies; imitation vs. reality, image vs. object, tradition vs. technology, reflecting the growing complexity and atomisation of modern life.⁠

Shoreditch Arts Club hosted an exclusive evening showcase of Peer’s forthcoming solo exhibitions by artists Leah Clements, Okiki Akinfe, Dala Nasser and Ceidra Moon Murphy, examining themes including the construction of place, sovereignty and community.

‘Two Shakes of a Rabbits Tail’ grapples with the idea of reality and perception. Tia is challenging the notion of authenticity in the online world, where individuals can present idealised versions of themselves while concealing their real-life struggles — the same way we conceal our past to control how we are percieved in the present.

A scan of Dionysus from the Parthenon Marbles,The Liberator is reimagined as a corporate avatar — serene, abstracted, and subtly estranged from its classical origin.

We are pleased to display three uniquely hand-made pieces by artist and architect Raphaé Memon at Shoreditch Arts Club, the ‘Minutes’ correlating to our cyclical life and our connection to movement, space, and the Earth.

Katie Shannon’s practice moves between visual art, performance and event making. She often works collaboratively with projects instigated though happenstance situation and friendship. Fandom, outsider Music cultures, pedestrian Fetish and filmic Feminist allyship across re-read Time codes are continuing research interests. 

‘Rock Hyphen Orchid Wasp’ extends from Oliver Laric's ongoing exploration of metamorphosis and the anthropomorphisation of animals. In this latest project, Laric moves beyond a single morph dimension for the first time to reveal a non-linear, decentralised and interconnected relationship between classical categories.

Upon the installation of her new piece Sea of Life, on view until the end of September 2024, Malgosia Stepnik sits down with curator Alexa Munemann to discuss the philosophy in her practice, working with local artisans to produce limited prints, and giving a glimpse into the upcoming dinner Malgosia will be hosting for Shoreditch Arts Club members on September 26th 2024.

Shoreditch Arts Club had the pleasure of putting together a week-long programme of empowering events leading up to International Women’s Day on the 8th of March, with the help of new and long-time collaborators spanning across film, fashion and art sectors.  

Jennifer Pattison’s work Eggs & Stones #I is part of her ongoing series, Burnt Eggshells & All The Things I Left Behind (2017-2023 wip). The photograph of a shell-less egg nested in frosted grass was one of her daughter’s science experiments from school, documented by Pattison during the starvation of social interactions of the pandemic – the frozen potential of life. 

The work Untitled (clown shaped speaker) is conceptualised and originally displayed by the artist Daniel Burley, as a speaker, playing Cook In The Slaughterhouse; an audiobook written and recorded by the artist. It is part of Shoreditch Arts Club’s most recent rotation of artworks, situated above the large projection wall when entering the club, its presence looming overhead…
