Compost
Compost. Kathrin Böhm: Turning the Heap at @theshowroomlondon 16 June – 24 July 2021; open Wednesday-Saturday, 12-5pm
Compost is a unique collaborative exhibition that explores twenty years of artist @k_athrinbohm practice. For six weeks throughout June and July 2021, a cumulation of objects and methodologies fills the gallery space at The Showroom, opening up an invitation to contribute to a process of fertiliser-making in collaboration with Kathrin: to sieve through, to assess, to archive, and to reformulate her practice through making use of her methods of production; working one-to-one, collaboratively, and in public.
Kathrin Böhm will be working on-site at The Showroom daily throughout Compost; and in a synthesis of spatial, visual, social and economic processes, the collective act of composting will be organised around principles of usership, accessibility, and enacting modes of economic and cooperative sustainability; all guided by an urgent sense of discontinuing ‘business as usual’.
For Böhm, Compost in the form it takes at The Showroom has been in-the-making for many years, stemming from a deep desire to not just produce, but to process and to carefully consider what to do next: what to continue, what to leave behind, and the need for fundamental shifts grounded by an acknowledgment of our entangled interdependence.
There will be a maximum capacity of ten visitors in the exhibition space at The Showroom at any one time to enable Covid-safe conditions.
