Explore thread as a method and metaphor for connection, collaboration and conversation in this exhibition by ten students on the MA degree in Curating Art and Public Programmes jointly run by Whitechapel Gallery and London South Bank University.
In the aftermath of the global pandemic and successive collective anxieties, there is an evident need for new forms of communication and embodiment. Digital fatigue and radical changes to pace of life have led many artists to seek more tactile, slow and mindful ways of working. Focusing on thread as material and method, this exhibition reflects the collective desire for comfort, embodiment and connection both in process and in content.
