Thursday June 27th artist Gill Baldwin, who takes part in OMI’s group show Current Traces: streets, sounds, shades will give a talk about her work Rolling Landscapes.

In this installation, artist Gill Baldwin brings ‘nature’ indoors at OMI. She cut branches off the plants in the back garden, inserted them into floral water tubes, and attached them to a metal cylinder. The branches are forced to move with the constant rotation of the installation. Baldwin is fascinated by the way nature in the city continues to go its own way even as people fanatically try to control it. In her work, she playfully sets in motion this contradiction between creating nature and nature’s unruliness.

The exhibition Current Traces: streets, sounds, shades is open from Thursday – Saturday 13:00 – 18:00.
