Espacio Gallery presents Edge of Ordinary 5 - Transformational group exhibition series featuring debut work from recent RCA graduate Jiji Kim.
- Espacio gallery presents the fifth iteration of the successful exhibition series, Edge of Ordinary.
- First post-graduation debut of RCA graduate Jiji Kim featuring her ground-breaking video work.
Edge of Ordinary 5 is a group exhibition from critically engaged artists pushing at their practises to make new work. Visitors to the exhibition will find themes of space and place, mental and imagined, surreal and vivid. Artworks re-present the viewer with an alternative view or even experience of their notions of time and place, installation work poses familiar objects in unfamiliar arrangements, fragments that recombine to form meaning. Work in a variety of media including ceramics, video, installation and a variety of 2D shows a versatile approach in re-imagining artist research and practise. We are pleased to include the first post graduate showing of video work by RCA graduate Jiji Kim

Exhibiting Artists:
Charlie Dillon - Dillon makes paintings that are abstract. He is occupied by working with something disordered to a resolved surface using delineation, figure, composition. He is interested in structure and language and likens his work to dealing with mind, its landscape.
Pamela Gerrie - Gerrie makes ceramics from handmade kilns. Her work draws out political narratives and reflects her travelled background. In this show she will exhibit glazed brick sculptures referencing their place in creating the spaces we live and die in. Gerrie is also currently exhibiting in The Old Truman Brewery.
Joanna Gilbert - Gilbert references angles; geometry and perspective of architecture to create mixed media works of art that re-present our environment in vivid colour. She is currently represented by artiq, a specialist in renting art to offices and commercial spaces.
Jiji Kim - JiJi Kim subverts the experience of city voyeurism, staging still images behind miniature window frames, and rephotographing them as dramatically lit moving images. Broken windows are a prominent feature, evoking Duchamp’s Large Glass.
Gail Olding - Oldings installation work alludes to references within literature. Transformation and the nature of time within everyday life
Gosia Poraj - Poraj makes paintings with a sense of the surreal, appearing collage like without a distinct perspective. Her painting process is minimal, drawing on her printmaking background and in her use of ink requiring a meticulous approach.
Claire Weinstock - Weinstock transforms spaces and by positioning iconic and everyday objects in artistic settings offers the viewer the chance to reconsider these spaces. Weinstock's latest project (featured in Edge of Ordinary 5) is centred in and around the Tate Britain and questions the perceptions of art, and it's accessibility. Weinstock has made work using print and photographic media.
