a different path 2020
the Undersides of Practice APT Gallery
curated by Cath Ferguson and Della Gooden
A section of the plan of the Velvet and Silk Café designed by Lilly Reich and Mies van der Rohe (Women's Fashion exhibition, Berlin 1927) was configured to form an architectural transition between gallery 2 and 3 at APT. Flats of light fabric hung on thin aluminium bars suspended on nylon wire, form walls, not inert, fixed or solid, but that sway and ripple in response to the movement of air currents and moving bodies. The different density, colour and structure of the fabric ‘walls’ withheld perspectives whilst opening new shifting perspectives of the wider exhibition.
