Underlying
Underlying brings together a group of artists whose work concerns what lies beneath the surface, in material and psychological ways, and in finding new meanings and life by excavating and re-using the flotsam and jetsam, ephemera, and relics of previous and contemporary times.
In mining for inspiration and ideas in the sedimentary layers of experience, history, mythology, archaeology, the River Thames silt, and the unconscious, these artists unearth and reinvent their own relics and artefacts, creating new mythologies and stories. They focus on the fragile persistence of objects in a digital age, and how they can hold complex meanings and stories that provide fertile ground for re-imagining new ideas, art, and artefacts.
The Crypt Gallery venue intensifies the themes of burial, unearthing, cycles of life, death, renewal, and new life rising from the ruins of the past, which each artist explores in their unique way.
