Britain's What's On Event Guide
Circle II
Pollen Collective is delighted to present Circle II, a multidisciplinary exhibition by member artists. Following the highly successful first Circle project, ‘one of the top five must-see exhibitions during Frieze week’ (J. Shurvell, Forbes Magazine, 2021), the collective has re-ignited their creative conversation.
Circle II is a related chain of unique artworks initiated by an AI image. Working spontaneously (in succession) over two-week periods, each artist responded to the previous artist’s work, without context or explanation. The subtle and intuitive connections between the artistic responses offer a fascinating insight into how the human imagination ranges in unexpected ways.
The body of work moves in an arc – away from an arresting yet curiously emotionless image, towards more subjective and poignant evocations. The viewer is taken on a revelatory journey through mediums that include painting, textile, animation, sculpture, projection and photography, as the artists reveal new objects and narratives. The Circle is closed with a collaborative piece re-envisioning the initial AI work.
