Lying in Wait


Art / Dance

Located at Victoria Miro 16 is a group exhibition of works that allude to movement, repetition or a physical engagement with space. The artists presented here work across diverse media, from film and photography, to dance, painting, sculpture and sound. There are several new works on view, including Lying in Wait, an exciting collaboration by Idris Khan and Sarah Warsop, and commissions by Alex Hartley and Susan Philipsz. Works by Francis Alÿs, Yayoi Kusama, Cildo Meireles, Roman Signer and Sarah Sze offer varied and often subtle introductions to ideas around movement in visual artistic practice.

Form / Content

The Collection is a series of ambitious collaborations that look at the interfaces of contemporary art and dance, where these worlds intersect and how they might inform one another. At the heart of The Collection is a mutual curiosity for potential exchanges across both art forms, and an exploration of the connections and disconnections within them.
