"Movable Planes"
16 October 2009 - 31 January 2010
Part I: 16 October - 29 November 09
Part II: 03 December - 17 January 10
This exhibition is the first chance to see work by emerging Spanish/ Brazilian artist Sara Ramo in the UK. Using film, installation and photography Ramo
(b.1975) explores notions of order and disorder. Strongly informed by performance art, Ramo sometimes appears in her own works, where banal actions become surreal interventions in intimate domestic settings
Movable Planes juxtaposes Ramo’s still and moving image works, which often focus on sequences of actions, events or interventions. When people do
not appear in the work, inanimate objects such as screwed up pieces of paper, black balloons on strings and taped lines on the ground, are given a life of their own. They become characters in imaginary narratives constructed by the artist.
Inspired by the innocence of childhood and magical realism, Ramo creates parallel worlds beyond the restrictions of adult reason. With this exhibition she explores the thin line between order and chaos in everyday life.
The artist has worked with the Gallery to divide the show into two installations. Each section contains different work, exploring aspects of Ramo’s practice.
This exhibition is based on the display curated by Sergio Mah for PhotoEspaña 2009.
