Friday 21st November
NETTIE HORN is pleased to present the first UK solo exhibition by British artist Kate Street; featuring a selection of wall-based sculptures, the finale to her Little Death series, and a collection of botanical drawings.
Kate Street uses words, proverbs and mythologies as a starting point to create sculptures tinged with a tongue-in-cheek approach to language. The results are often sculptures, or rather assemblages, that consist of intricately crafted components tinged with sombre qualities. Street uses the form of the funeral wreath, constructed as a response to loss and sublimation, to explore the boundaries surrounding the dual aspect of her work – the associations created between the imagery and her search for meaning through communication and language.
Striking a balance between the theatrical and the absurd, her series Little Death - originating from the French term for orgasm “petite mort” - illustrates the way in which Street laces her work with parallels between ideas of death and the romantic. These carefully crafted floral tributes are intended to mark the demise of someone or something, paradoxically signifying an end, and yet building a monument to the departed. Reoccurring motifs such as flowers, birds, trinkets and hearts are used to symbolise and subvert typical ideas of romance – being at first glance a baroque and intricate object that on close inspection begins to play with our most basic insecurities and discomforts.
Street’s botanically themed drawings play on bizarre taxonomies and classifications, creating new hybrid forms that simultaneously recall anatomical studies and mutated Victorian etchings. The Orchis series, which evoke an ancient Greek belief that orchids sprung from the spilt semen of mating animals, once again illustrates Street’s interest in notions of desire, longing, and the absurdity that often accompanies it. These considered drawings, which can be read as a beautiful Memento mori, reflect once again parallels between nature and artifice.
Kate Street was born in 1979 and graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2004. Past exhibitions include Darkness Visible at the Galway Arts Centre, Ireland; Et pendant ce temps… at NETTIE HORN, London; Sex & Witchcraft at Transition gallery, London; Wintry at Lounge gallery, London; the Celeste art prize, London; New Romantic at the Hospital Gallery, London.

This month Reggae Roast returns to East Village for another all day skankathon.
This time we are joined by another true DJ legend, the one and only DON LETTS!
Over the past 30 years "The Don" has firmly cemented his reputation in both the UK film and music worlds. He came to notoriety in the late 70's as the DJ who single handidly turned a generation of Punks onto Reggae. He then went on to form the groundbreaking band Big Audio Dynamite, one of the most influential, genre splitting bands of the mid eighties. Since then Mr Letts has been rocking shows across the globe sticking to his simple music philosophy of "All killer, no filler"
Come and see him for yourself, up close and personal alongside our residents Louis Slipperz, Moodie, Exel, Mark (Solution Sound) and Joe Lickshot.
We are running an extensive £3 concessions list for this event for all of our Reggae Roast regulars. Please e-mail reggaeroast@hotmail.co.uk and add "Don Letts" in the subject box to get on the cheap list.

And if you needed any reassurance about the results of your
astounding efforts in creating the zeitgeist of The Secret Garden
Party, we included a few quotes from the startled journalists
who attended the Party…
"I was warned about the cold, hard shock of post-Glastonbury
reality but that ain't nothing compared to the post-Secret
Garden effect. When your Gardener feet finally touch the ground,
reality is downright over-rated" – Seatwave
"We start laughing, and for the next few hours, the giggles are
only broken up with open-mouthed wonder at the attention to
quirky detail or emphatic agreement that this has to be the
greatest
festival set-up ever. Ever." – Virtual Festivals
"Every festival has its eccentric and innovative moments, but
these were the bread and water of SGP. Spontaneity, innovation
and liberation were pillars of this festival." – The Fugitive Motel
"For those who have never heard of SGP, it really is, in my
totally unbiased opinion, the best festival in the UK today…
So much work goes into this wonderland. To see it is to love it.
Get yourself there next year" – Spoonfed
THANK YOU GARDENERS!!! You surpassed yourselves once again.
You are a magnificent bunch indeed.
