Join us to celebrate the opening of Turf’s latest exhibition Tending. This Opening Gathering will give you moments to immerse yourself in the exhibition, with offerings from the artists and refreshments.
Growing from seeds planted during At the Meadow’s Edge, Tending returns to the question of how we notice, care and be in kinship with each other and our environment. Moving from threshold to dwelling, Tending gently shifts our attention from information overwhelm using sensory and material ways of knowing to guide us.
Paintings of mangroves encourage resilient reflections, sonic sculptures translate sound into matter and tactile talismans invite forms of engagement rooted in curiosity and care. Boundaries are softened as works contaminate one another and ourselves, carrying new knowledge from the gallery space out into the world.
Spaces for reading, reflection and dreaming offer moments of rest in a shared environment; pauses intended not as a retreat from the world, but as methods to stay in it. To listen deeply, sense intentionally and dream collectively.
Tending invites you to consider how moving through the world can be nurtured through reclaiming our attention and being in our humanness.
