Nothing Is Forever, Fiona Banner, Spilt Nude 2007
Seamlessly integrating art and architecture, and with each work destined to be embedded in the fabric of the buildings when painted over at the end of the show, Nothing is Forever marks an important and transitional moment in the South London Gallery’s history. As the institution expands into a formerly derelict house and a new building incorporating the surviving walls of a former lecture theatre and library, the exhibition draws visitors through the SLG’s new and existing spaces with a variety of approaches to making art directly on the walls.
Reflecting the South London Gallery’s approach to artistic programming over the past decade, the show includes works by living British and international artists from several generations and at different stages in their careers.
Artists:
Fiona Banner (UK), Robert Barry (US), Ernst Caramelle (Austria), Brian Chalkley (UK), Sam Dargan (UK), Dustin Ericksen (US), Craig Fisher (UK), Penny McCarthy (UK), Paul Morrison (UK), Henna Nadeem (UK), Dan Perjovschi (Romania), Sam Porritt (UK), Yinka Shonibare MBE (UK), David Shrigley (UK), Gary Simmonds (UK), Lily van der Stokker (Netherlands), Milly Thompson (UK), Mark Titchner (UK),Lawrence Weiner (US), Gary Woodley (UK).
