Inspired by falling on St. Valentine’s Day, sometimes when is a weekend exhibition that explores the logic of a crush.

If a crush is a kind of intense infatuation, often directed towards the unattainable, it’s also an experience that is difficult to put words around; most often unexpressed, its passing presence is like a constant hum. Yet to crush is also to crease, crumple, compress or forcefully squeeze. To crush something is to distort its shape, to twist or press or change it in some way. Taking this as its starting point, sometimes when stages a passing crush within the chapel of St. Margaret’s House. Here, a crush suggests its own logic, a landscape that stretches across the exhibition space. Materials are placed in conversation to somehow reflect an experience of infatuation, or distortion, the inexplicable or the unexpressed.

Rather like the way a blush rises and fades, this passing crush starts on Friday 14 February and is over by the end of the weekend. There will be a performance reading with accompanying crushed elixir as part of the opening, at 7PM.

With generous support from St. Margaret’s House

ARTIST BIO

ISOBEL ATACUS is a London-based artist whose practice playfully questions the fleeting and ambiguous nature of interactions that take place in the physical realm. Through processes of excavation and mediation, Atacus seeks to re-direct and re-describe our encounters with the objects and things around us, often creating scenarios in which control is lost and rules are wilfully misapplied. Her works operate on a cusp: between the poetic and the punk, the erudite and obvious, the ready-made and fabricated, often muddling the expanse of the landscape with the intimacy of the domestic space. Atacus has just completed a practice-based PhD between King’s College London and the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, and directs the icing room artist-run space. / www.isobelatacus.com / @isobelatacus /
