Silke Dettmers' practice is not tied to a specific medium. It often involves the use of manufactured objects, or their re-making in a 'foreign' material or scale. Using metaphor and evoking narrative, recent work has been concerned with the fragility of contemporary society and the sense of danger that underlies the idea of the 'homely'. The pieces in this exhibition however, directly reference a more concrete situation -the physical and social transformations that are taking place in the East End of London - where the artist lives and works - through the development of the Olympic Park. |
