Sing Into My Mouth takes as its
curatorial lead one established by Tacita Dean in her exhibition, An
Aside. Resisting establishing a clear thematic curatorial framework, Dean
embarked on a period of non-linear meanderings, guided by idiosyncratic
interests, chance, association and coincidence to a set of works that make
up the final whole - a process not unlike that used in her own art
production.
Like Dean, Julia Rosa Clark has
followed a series of disparate clues and eccentric threads on her unknown
route to the final proposition. The culmination is a group exhibition of
selected artworks and a free printed booklet - the curator’s anecdotal
writing about the works on view.
