Nike Savvas
Liberty and Anarchy @ Leeds Art Gallery, UK
In her first UK solo exhibition for more than a decade, Nike Savvas transforms the two rooms of the gallery.
In the first room, a large scale moire installation fills the room. 18 large screens which hold hundreds of individually placed, taut plastic, brightly coloured ribbons. This large-scale installation incorporates panels fixed from the floor to the ceiling, allowing audiences to walk amongst the colourful ‘cascade’ of panelled ribbons and view the alternating, shimmering colours from all sides. The second room incorporates Savvas's sliding ladder works and paintings.

Exhibition will be showing to 24 February 2013.
