AKINCI is proud to announce the upcoming solo exhibition STILL LIFE BABEL by Imogen Stidworthy (1963, London). We will host an Artist Talk with Imogen Stidworthy in conversation with curator Ine Gevers on Saturday November 1st, at 3:30 pm.
Stidworthy presents a new body of work including the installation STILL LIFE BABEL (2025) composed of video, voices and mineral oil; bronze casts of reeds, and digital photographs of straw, together with Iris [A Fragment] (2018), presented here in screen version and shown in The Netherlands for the first time. During the Artist Talk, Ine Gevers will join Stidworthy in a conversation around the themes of the exhibition and Stidworthy’s latest work. You are welcome to join us for the talk which will be followed by drinks after 5 pm.
Imogen Stidworthy‘s sculptural installations and films are shaped by different forms of voicing through sound, body, and spatial and temporal relationships. She is interested in language and the voice, which she sees as a physical and spatial material. Her work grapples with the impossibility of glimpsing language from the outside; ‘What happens to sense-making in encounters with unfamiliar or unrecognisable forms of voicing? What different forms of communication emerge in spaces between languages?’.
Ine Gevers is a curator, artist and writer, working at the intersection of art, technology and society. As a curator she brings complex themes such as neurodiversity, climate change and the impact of technology to the public arena. With her unique ability to translate abstract concepts into immersive experiences, she creates immersive exhibitions that push boundaries and encourage social change. Gevers is the director of the ‘Niet Normaal Foundation’ since 2007, mounting large-scale art exhibitions and books on topical issues.
