Mimesis
A year-long conversation between artists Evy Jokhova and Amelia Critchlow culminates with a site-specific installation. Taking the form of a waiting room within Westminster Reference Library, it features a variety of structures and artworks by both artists that consider an expanded idea of the Greek term ‘mimesis’ or mimicry, with particular reference to the context of the library.
Until 2 January 2016, Westminster Reference Library, St Martin’s Street, London WC2H

Chongha Peter Lee \ Kuai Shen
These two digital artists’ residencies are perfectly timed during the holiday period to be viewed on a laptop or smart phone from any location. Kuai Shen’s research theme of ‘Viral Ecologies: technological hypnotism and the zombie ants’ and Chongha Peter Lee’s exploration of the contemporary image and military communities make a less than seasonal, but nonetheless intriguing diversion from the Christmas dinner table.
Until 17 January 2016, www.digitalartistresidency.org
