16.03.2022 – 30.04.2022
We are extremely excited to announce our first edition of our new offsite project: ‘Overmorrow House’, a presentation of a funded research period we have undergone with Nina Davies, in rural Rother.
Overmorrow House is an offsite programme of artist’s studio based research in Battle, East Sussex. Home of the Battle of Hastings 1066. Exploring how artists engage with new histories and new geographies within their practice. Overmorrow House asks artists to consider the potential of the day after tomorrow as a proposition for new production within their studio practice.
Nina Davies (b. 1991) is a Canadian-British artist who considers the present moment through observing dance in popular culture and how it is disseminated, circulated, made, and consumed. Working primarily with video and performance, Davies considers current dance phenomena in relation to the wider socio-technical environments from which they emerge. Previous research projects have included the recent commodification of the dancing body on digital platforms and rethinking dances of today as traditional dances of the future. Oscillating between fiction and non-fiction, her work helps build new critical frameworks for engaging with dance practices.
Davies graduated in 2022 from Goldsmiths MFA Fine Art where she was awarded the Almacantar Studio Award and the Goldsmiths Junior Fellowship position. Her first solo institutional show was Precursing at Matts Gallery, London in 2023. Her work has been exhibited at The Photographers Gallery, Overmorrow House, Battle, New Contemporaries 2023 at Camden Arts Centre and Gextophoto, Spain.
