CAROLINE ACHAINTRE
FANTÔMAS
20 January — 29 April First floor gallery
Together and separately, Guimarães and Akhøj explore the residual histories of art, design and architecture, exposing unexpected connections between states of rapture and modernity. Much of their recent work has emerged from research undertaken in the small Brazilian town of Palmelo, many of whose inhabitants are Spiritist mediums. Presented in the UK for the first time, Studies for A Minor History of Trembling Matter (2017) and Captain Gervasio’s Family (2014) are both set within this community. These films sit alongside Guimarães’ film Canoas (2010), set in the home that architect Oscar Neimeyer built for himself outside Rio de Janeiro, and Akhøj’s Welcome (To The Teknival), (2009–17), a response to the restoration of Eileen Gray’s modernist villa e.1027.
Achaintre’s visually striking, witty ceramic sculptures and hand-tufted wall hangings often resemble masks. They incorporate diverse references such as catwalk fashion, carnival, death metal iconography, Primitivism and Expressionism. Appearing in cultures throughout the world, masks have a potential to take on a life of their own, conjuring ‘characters’ in the mind of the viewer. For Achaintre, the mask is a place where fantasy and reality can exist at the same time. The ceramics in this exhibition were produced as part of a joint residency with West Dean College. #facesinplaces
YEMI AWOSILE
DIGITAL NATIVE

Join Tamar Guimarães and Kasper Akhøj for a sneak preview of the exhibition before opening to the public at 12 noon.
AUDIO FILES Personal responses to the exhibition, recorded with the Young Creatives, a group of local 14 – 21 year olds who play an active role in influencing and co-producing the De La Warr Pavilion programme. soundcloud.com/delawarrpavilion
Throughout autumn 2017, Yemi Awosile was artist-in-residence at Thornwood Care Home engaging residents living with dementia, and staff, in conversation and tactile creative activity. From this, Awosile has translated shared experience and individual memory into cloth, testing whether craft innovation might help to bridge the gap between a younger generation of ‘digital natives’ and those brought up before the digital age.
