SPACE-HONEY

Private View: 28th March, 6 - 9pm - Performance art! New Gums spoken word & poetry! And over to The Five Bells for afters!!! 

SPACE-HONEY reveals how dreams can manifest in both familiar and uncanny forms. This multi-sensory display of emerging artists explores the Freudian dreamscapes of our subconscious. Here, memory and desire collide to override the real, altering the nooks and crevices of Peckham’s Safehouse 1 from ‘home’ to surrealist wonderland.

Taking incentive from Gaston Bachelard’s metaphor of honey in a hive in his book 'The Poetics of Space', SPACE-HONEY investigates the merging of the inner psyche and the outer world through the Surrealist movement’s manifestations of disembodied figures and unnerving landscapes. 

By starting from the first dwelling point: the home, dreams can be mapped across architectural boundaries; from beyond the four walls to the very skin we live in. Through approaching Surrealist views a century later, SPACE-HONEY exposes the psychological tensions of present-day; combining art, poetry and performance to depict how our innermost desires and dreams can transform our surroundings.
