On the occasion of Camila Barvo’s Entanglement, please join us for a walkthrough with the artist and Ciera Alyse McKissick, independent curator and founder of cam.contemporarie.

Barvo’s new works in Entanglement respond to the forms and gestures, natural and industrial materiality, and locality of English winemaking. The exhibition draws Barvo's practice of braiding, knotting and wrapping into parallel with winemaking, where the hand and the wire, the organic and the structural, the contingent and the controlled, are in constant negotiation. Barvo will be in discussion with McKissick about her practice and process, including the expansion of her practice to engage with winemaking and viticulture.

The event is free, but RSVP is essential.

Location: 2nd Floor, 12 St George St, London W1S 2FB.
