RAG Artist Ingrid Plum has been chosen to exhibit
as part of PEACE CAMP at Brick Lane Gallery, a group show hosted by Bob &
Roberta Smith which explores our perception and vision of Peace.
At this time of global tension, Bob and Roberta Smith, The Fucks and The
Brick Lane Gallery warmly invite you to set aside your fighting spirit and
experience our �Peace Camp�: a rich and varied art utopia in London�s East End.
Running from the 2nd to the 31st of December this year, Peace Camp will unite
the cream of contemporary creativity in a series of talks, exhibitions and
performances motivated by a contemplative and probing spirit which asks: �What
is your vision of peace?�
Following the success of her first solo show "Murmuration at Embassy
Court", local Artist Ingrid Plum will be expanding her previous work into the
context of Peace for this exhibition. "Murmuration" is the sound of many people murmuring and the
collective noun for hundreds of Starlings swarming at sunset. Using poetry and
origami, Ingrid Plum will explore the idea of harmony and synchronicity in
nature that lies behind this word. Throughout the day, words and birds will be
suspended from the ceiling of Brick Lane Gallery for members of the public to
walk through. She will ask visitors to contribute by adding words expressing
their own truth of the words harmony and peace, or by making an origami bird,
the white crane, which represents peace. By the end of the day, Brick Lane
Gallery will be swarming with birds and murmurings of peace from all who have
visited.
Ingrid will be resident at Brick
Lane Gallery for one day only - Thursday 28th December 1pm -
6pm. She says, "Drop in anytime between 1pm and
6pm. All contributions or just your company are welcome!"
