London
Biennale 2004 at tablet gallery
Marko Stepanov
& Tiago Slewinski
June 4 - July 2
Private view Friday June 4, from 6pm
This is the second of two exhibitions at tablet gallery which are part
of
the London Biennale, an anarchic freeform festival founded in 2000 by
the
peripatetic Filipino artist David Medalla. Artists can register to take
part
by simply taking a photo of themselves in front of Eros in Piccadilly
Circus
holding an artistic arrow they have made themselves. It is especially
appropriate for the Tabernacle to be taking part in the Biennale, as the
building was originally opened in 1884 by that same Lord Shaftesbury whose
memorial is the statue of Eros (the commemorative foundation stone is
displayed just inside the entrance).
From June
4 to July 2, Marko Stepanov, originally from Yugoslavia, will
create a sculptural installation examining identity, consciousness and
nationality. He has performed and made exhibitions internationally, and
in
1992 was struck by lightning during a hailstorm. Portuguese artist Tiago
Slewinski, meanwhile, will turn the front of the Tabernacle into a
traditional windmill with the addition of four sails to the facade.
