Thank you to curators Olivia Reynolds and Julia Wirxel for the invitation to Family Crinkles, a group exhibition of artists from Berlin and Cornwall at the incredible Lobe Block in Berlin.

The exhibition Family crinkles brings together contemporary artistic positions that understand family as a relational and performative structure. Based on Judith Butler’s understanding of social relationships as a performative practice, family structures appear here as fluid constellations that form in the field of tension between intimacy, dependence and power.

My film The next dawn, the next spring will be screened and the dresses from the performance will hang in the beautiful brutalist space along with new works on fabric. A still from the film will feature on a flag commission for the top of the building.
