PEER Announces: Upcoming Solo Exhibition With Tanoa Sasraku
In winter 2023, PEER will present an exhibition of new works by artist Tanoa Sasraku. Sasraku’s exhibition at PEER builds on an ongoing body of work that includes sculpture, drawing, film and print to examine perceived hostilities, energies and mythologies embedded in rural British landscapes.
Making adaptations to PEER’s interior gallery, Sasraku will present a series of sculptures titled Liths. The freestanding sculptures consist of slithers torn from the artist's Terratypes series, which comprise layers of heavily worked newsprint; stained with ink and earth-pigment and bound with thread, before being submerged in sea, river or bog water. These paper works are then flattened, scanned and enlarged into monolithic digital prints that are encased in totemic wooden frames that reference both museum display case and neolithic standing stone. A series of talks and events devised in collaboration with Sasraku will take place through the exhibition.
