PAUL YORE & TREVOR SMITH featured in @lodownmag. "Yore's sensational and highly provocative hand-sewn textile forms, continue the historical deployment of domestic hand-craft with subversive intent. Mirroring the frenzied, image-saturated media context of the digital age, he utilises found images and text from clothing, bedding, tea towels and other recycled goods to produce depositories of high and low cultural forms. This compressed, sequin-clad, queer alternate reality will be presented in a major 4-meter tapestry 'Let Us Not Die From Habit'. Alongside this, Smith's exhibition "Behind the Curtains (Hinter den Vorhängen)" will feature an assortment of captivating crocheted sculptures evoking domestic DDR nostalgia aimed at celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall '30 Jahre Mauerfall'." TREVOR SMITH: 'Behind the Curtains (Hinter den Vorhängen)' is open and on view until 14th December. PAUL YORE: 'Let Us Not Die From Habit' will be on view from Friday and has been organised in collaboration with Berlin-based curator @rach_vance_.
