We are glad to share documentation from "Several Chickens Later", Nancy Lupo's largest exhibition in the UK to date at , Bristol.
In her work, which encompasses sculpture, video, writing, sound, drawing, painting, performance and architecturally specific installation, Lupo reflects on how collective fantasies and emotions become embedded in form. She often describes her work as being scripted or held together through a thin thread of narrative which she explores in her first novel, 'Meow Meow Real Estate'.
A corpus of newly commissioned sculptures, playing with the scale and industrial grandeur of Spike Island’s galleries, evokes the fragility of our endeavours, and the futility of our fantasies.
The exhibition includes a work co-produced by Spike Island and the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation (). With thanks to Raven Row (). The exhibition is generously supported by Antenna Space.
