Private View - Losing the Plot curated by In-Grid

17 Amhurst Terrace, London, E8

PV: Thursday, 7th November, 6 – 9pm

Open: Friday 8th November 2024 – 4th January 2025, Wednesday – Saturday, 12 – 6pm

‘Losing the Plot’ is an exhibition from In-grid. The exhibition will feature artworks which explore concepts around history and lore: looking into archival and record keeping practices, unreliable narrators and oral histories, changelogs and other technological timestamps. Taking a playful while careful approach, the work shown will consider the social and technical mechanisms of record keeping, categorisation and labelling. We will consider where power and bias lie when keeping, updating or writing into records, and different orientations of measuring the passage of time.

The exhibition itself will be mutable, a living archive which will be in flux during its run via public activations, performative moments and amendments from In-grid as artist*archivists. By creating our own technological infrastructures, archival protocols and games within the space we hope to imagine ways of working with archives that are awkward and unruly – creating space for ideas which can’t be filed away neatly.

In-grid is a trans*feminist collective of artists / educators / technologists working with digital infrastructures. In-grid has been working together since 2019, and is made up of a fluid group of people who create artworks, installations, celebrations, workshops and research.
