Anna Barham, Tom Dale, Maria-Brigita Karantzi and Andy Parker, investigate ideas around temporality and the event status of exhibitions. The group show includes new works made specifically for the Plan 9 space. ‘Not Here Not Now’, looks to both the recent past and to the future through the examination of fleeting moments, passing thoughts and the creation of myth. The artists work with a range of media, strategies and tactics including performance, appropriation and installation. Barham’s poetic fragmentation and reconfiguration of language physically punctuates the space, whilst Dale’s new video work explores the manifestation of thought elusively following an uncertain trajectory. Parker’s meticulous production re-presents flawed objects giving permanence to their ephemerality, whilst Karantzi’s selection of quotidian materials that build her fantastical and fragile installations are seemingly poised mid voyage. The works have found temporary resolution in the gallery space confining them to the here and now against the setting of the double negative Not Here Not Now. Curated by Natasha MacVoy.
