Previously:

Fran Cottell”s first exhibition at PostROOM GALLERY was called BARKING

It took place for one week in July 2023. It consisted of an exhibition of several trees growing up from the floor, through the building, through the ceiling and through the roof. The whole spectacle was an illusion but totally believable. The work drew attention to climate change. The trees are taking over. The work was shocking, daring, very challenging and yet a lyrical space for the imagination to roam.

​

FLOOD is a new proposition in response to the particular qualities of this gallery/living space and will be for a month. It has a different focus: the space appears to have been dug out below the water line.  The  projects interpenetrate / permeate / pervade / break down the division of inside and outside space. Following logic –the water like the trees –escaping confines –inside and outside space becoming continuous – levelled.  Visitors will be able to descend steps and experience the flood, circulating amongst the domestic debris. Gallery aesthetic meets domestic minimalism – again an illusion but totally believable.
