Clay and charcoal drop-ins: Camberwell Space invites visitors of all ages to join Lana Locke in creating an evolving collective installation in Camberwell Space using salvaged clay to contribute to an evolving communal installation in the space, and charcoal to draw on a communal wall. Lana invites audiences to consider their own agency in engaging with these materials, and transient acts of making that become recycled alongside clay that is fired and used for more permanent objects.
The drop-ins may resonate with viewers keen to get their hands dirty after seeing Damián Ortega’s Clay Mountain on display in the Museo Jumex exhibition at South London Gallery, and Giuseppe Penone’s charcoal wall drawings on display at the Serpentine Galleries.
The event forms part of a new residency and research project by Lana, A Feral Plot (Making Sculpture and Other Strategies for Survival) – based on action research in response to the climate emergency in the field of sculpture.
