Patrick Coyle* - 8pm Johan Eldrot Hedwig Houben* - 7.45pm Alex Lawler * Private View Performances Private View Friday 16 December, 7-9pm, Open 17 - 22 December 2011, 12-5pm 52 Haymarket St, Piccadilly SW1Y 4RP Invisible forms, products and potentialities brings together a set of four artistic practices that reflect upon objects at a given point of production—in some cases dispersed, formless and still in the process of being manifested. Works re-present and appropriate historical references for a potential use, other works openly deliberate on an object of the future. The appearance of past events shifts towards the speculation upon future events. Referencing human nature’s interest and ability to conceptualise future events, polymorphic artworks are presented here as the central carrier of meaning. Invisible forms, products and potentialities cuts through notions of lineal time, presenting a site that contends to explore how contemporary objects can detach themselves from the present whilst asking, what is the image of the forthcoming? What are we to expect from it? What form might it take?
