12th April – 26th May 2013 MAUREEN PALEY. 21 Herald Street London E2 6JT www.maureenpaley.com
Following on from her recent solo show at the Secession in Vienna, Anne Hardy will present three photographs, Notations, Script and Shelf.
In the upstairs gallery she has built a structure of two interconnected rooms. This is a sculptural continuation that has grown out of her recent residency at the Camden Arts Centre. It is the first time she allows the viewer to enter an actual space of her making. In the past these were created solely to be photographed and were always destroyed afterwards. Breaking away from this former process allows her to expand her working methods and has given her a new dimension to explore within this exhibition. The structure was created in the space one month prior to the show opening and has slowly taken shape during that time period.
