Viewing SUM: Sarabande Summer Group Show

Head to the Sarabande Foundation to revel in their summer group show ‘SUM,’ compiling 11 contemporary artists who are currently in residence at the Foundation. 
 
At the centre of the exhibition sits a small white house surrounded by lush and sprouting gardens that represents their time spent together. Living alongside one another in their day-to-day lives and through collaboration and cohabitation, witness the fruits of their creative endeavours and the germination of friendship. Over four weeks, the artists welcome the audience into their ‘home’ to see the exhibition and to experience takeovers, performances and family-style dinners.
 
With works that reference either the domestic or nature, walk through the woven entrance by Jia Xi Li hanging from the house’s frame to find a hand-painted bed, embodying the relentless defiance of Iranian women by this week’s Spotlighted artist Laila Tara H. Explore the gardens to find animals drawn and painted by Robert Cooper, a digital well tucked away in the grass by Zongbo Jiang and a fountain that will gradually erode from the acid held inside it by Urte Janus.
 
Make yourself at home and come along to the family-style dinners hosted by two of the artists. Enjoy Spanish food served alongside a performance by Isabel Castro Jung and a day of traditional Iranian funeral sweets served out of the house by Laila Tara H.
