Events: defunct data, industrial landscapes and scientific artworks

Tripp Gallery Launch Party: ‘What’s it going to be then, eh?’
Sited in the basement of a Georgian shop, this new artist-run gallery in central London opens with the group show ‘What’s it going to be then, eh?’ featuring works by 11 artists that the gallery aims to continue to exhibit and support.

What is the void?
Rose Cleary‘s spoken word performance takes its cue from the tons of online data that has become defunct or disregarded – from abandoned websites to those that have dropped off search engines, or simply fallen out of favour with their audiences. Taking crowd-sourced definitions of ‘the void’ from Yahoo Answers, Cleary elucidates and reflects on these wide-ranging interpretations.
Friday 30 September and Saturday 1 October, Deptford Lounge, London SE8

The Wonder of It All
Josie Jenkins and Jacqui Chapman‘s practices each negotiate the contemporary landscape and man’s influence over it. Jenkins’ work, developed as a result of artistic residencies in China, explores notions of consumerism, order and control in relation to the country’s industrial landscapes. In contrast, Chapman’s paintings respond to the the increasingly sensational phenomenon of the flower show and the way that nature is consumed and disposed of through these events.
Until 6 October 2016, The Gallery Liverpool, 41 Stanhope Street, Liverpool

Cryptic – Art & Science
A collection of experiments and artworks by 15 artists and scientists from the MA Art and Science at Central St Martins that merge artistic and scientific inquiry to consider topics from memory and extinction to molecular energy and climate change. Drawn from backgrounds as diverse as engineering and psychology, the artists use materials that are both familiar and that delves into the unknown. Expect to see emerging biological forms alongside film, photography and textiles.
4 – 7 October 2016, The Crypt Gallery, Euston Road, London NW1
