Ahead of the opening of (Re)Grounding, an exhibition in partnership with D6: Culture in Transit, have a read of Tom Jeffrey’s piece for Corridor8 exploring Alexandra Clod and Karolina Uskakovych’s work.
Writer Tom Jeffreys spent time with the artists during their residences at D6 earlier this year and from ongoing correspondence has crafted an essay that digs deep into Karolina and Alexandra’s practice and ideas…
“In the end, the works in (Re)Grounding connect through digging. Digging back into histories at once personal and political, industrial and ecological, communal, embodied, mediated, mythic…. The land is never simple and nor are our connections to it and to each other. Digging is material and metaphorical – a practice, a journey. It is art and labour.”
Saturday 18 November – Saturday 16 December
Open Wednesday – Saturday, 12pm – 5pm
Opening: Friday 17 November, 4.30pm – 8pm
Journeying from the industrial landscapes of Ukraine to former coal mines and community gardens of the North East, artists Alexandra Clod and Karolina Uskakovych respond to the climate crisis by exploring the shared industrial past of the UK and Ukraine and its impact today. (Re)Grounding is co-produced by D6: Culture in Transit and Kyiv-based IZOLYATSIA, with D6 curator in residence Lucy Nychai, and is part of the UK/Ukraine Season of Culture devised jointly by the British Council and the Ukrainian Institute.
