30/05 - 01/06, 11am-5pm: Exhibition Open

A Box That Rolls Uphill is a new collection of experimental writing and images by Ellie Wyatt, responding to an inherited archive of scientific drawings, slides, graphs and objects from the 1950s-70s. Reflecting on and often embodying these inherited materials, A Box That Rolls Uphill explores themes of expertise, care, legacy and decay in relation to redundant technologies, modes of image-making, and bodily systems.

While rooted in tangible images and objects, the project is also a personal reflection on the production of scientific, artistic and bodily knowledges; slippages in translation between image and object; family traits, pressures and expectations; and intergenerational (mis)communication.

Accompanying the launch, Wyatt will also be hosting an exhibition of new works and a visual reading group.
