Evolutionary Love
Dean Kenning
17 September – 30 October 2021
Standpoint, London
A solo exhibition of new work by Dean Kenning, winner of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 2020/21.
Kenning (b.1972 Hounslow, UK) makes kinetic and sound sculptures, as well as videos and diagrams. His work is engaged with political, philosophical and scientific questions, and is produced through hands-on material and process-based experimentation, and in the spirit of DIY problem solving. For ‘Evolutionary Love’, Kenning has produced a series of semi-autonomous, interactive creatures, which crawl and drag themselves continuously around the gallery, avoiding obstacles and interacting with visitors and each other. Point of view footage is live-streamed on screens, viscerally giving the audience a close-to-the-ground creaturely perspective.
