With Poetry and Performances by Allegra Handelsman, Dominic Sideway, Viktoria Tchibor, Alfreda Maxwell and Alina Vergnano

 

“Arty types and aristos mingled at Allegra Handelsman’s poetry night at the Roman Road gallery in Notting Hill. Alfreda Maxwell had everyone in stitches with her witty songs, but it was Allegra’s work that sparked the liveliest debate. What was it really about? Not men, clearly: ‘The amount of men in London who claim my poetry is about them is staggering,’ she said. Performer Viktoria Tchibor whirled about in a huge pink dress, accidentally hitting Philip Sallon in the face. Luckily, the ever-stylish club impresario turned the other chic.” – Tatler, May 2023

On the occasion of Daisy Dodd-Noble’s solo exhibition Landscapes from the UK at Roman Road, we were specially joined at the gallery by Landscape Architect Stephanos Georgiou from Dan Pearson Studio, and Errol Fernandes, Head of Horticulture at the Horniman Museum and Gardens, for an enlightening conversation with the artist. Exploring themes of climate change and how it might affect the British landscape, they discussed the role of trees in the present and future world, and the importance of the human-nature relationship. Surrounded by Dodd-Noble’s latest landscape paintings, which feature certain trees she has encountered, such as Sequoias and Norwegian Spruces, reimagined in tranquil terrains, they also spoke of how our landscapes are instilled with many different and foreign species of trees, cultivated and distributed by humans. How do we respond to non-native plants? And should mankind interfere so much with nature or is it best left to its own devices?

We are thrilled to present the second exhibition of our 2023 programme, Bury a Friend, a multimedia group show curated by Marisa Bellani, featuring ultra-contemporary works by Johanna Bath, Sonya Derviz, Jack Laver and Mia Vallance. Throughout the display there’s a prevailing sense of curiosity and catharsis that materialises from the varied pieces, with each artist digging beneath the surface of the visible to unravel or challenge existing forces of power and the endless corridors of our minds. Bury a Friend opens on Thursday 16 March from 6 – 8 PM and will be on display at Roman Road, Notting Hill, until 14 April 2023.

 

Opening: Thursday 16 March 2023, 6 – 8 PM
