Sally Buchan has an installation this week at the Flux Exhibtion
Camden-based multi-media artist Sally Buchanan doesn’t necessarily know what her projects are going to be about, but always knows that they are going to happen. Not surprising then that her contribution to the FLUX Exhibition – this week in the Parade Ground of Chelsea College of the Arts – is called ‘The Inevitable Installation’. Sally talked to Camden Community Radio while she was still on a high from the (not quite finished) work on her sculpture which she hopes will draw people into a space that suggests another world, another dimension. Consisting of ten cubes, each a different colour and constructed with scaffolding and organza that people can walk through or view from outside, the installation plays with shape and colour as overlaps transpose colours and convey different hues. On Monday and Tuesday ‘The Inevitable Installation’ will be assembled (and filmed with a time lapse camera) in situ.
Entry is FREE, Gates open each day at 11am. Chelsea College is next to Tate Britain at 16 John Islip Street, SW1 4UJ.Bus 88, Pimlico tube station or River bus to Tate Britain.
