Kate Little: Hybrid Assemblages
FRIDAY 29 JULY-FRIDAY 19 AUGUST 2022
HYBRID ASSEMBLAGES presents a series of works on paper that reconsider non-digital generative art in the digital era. Across manipulated paper surfaces which recall the Jacquard weaving loom or early punch card computers, an interplay between order and chaos is visible. The pattern and symmetry of punched holes and gridded folds chart contemporary concerns of specialisation, technology, and the role of the self.
We warmly invite you to experience the presentation of Kate Little's research in the SASA Gallery

Yusuf Hayat: Curries, Kurtas and Burqas
Friday 4 March - Friday 1 April 2022
The articulation of newly imagined forms of public engagement can be a critical component in re-making worlds and the physical and perceptual borders that uphold them.
In Curries, Kurtas and Burqas Yusuf Ali Hayat examines (post)migrant narratives through an artistic practice of emplacement. This installation-focussed inquiry considers encounters with art as invitations towards mutual understandings that encourage new intimacies to emerge, ones that have the potential to engender familiarity and friendship.

Gretchen Gordon: Calaveras (2015-2020)
FRIDAY 6 MAY - FRIDAY 27 MAY 2022
Gretchen Gordon is a multidisciplinary artist who explores social and cultural relationships and the embodied experience of peripatetic global travel.
Gordon’s practice folds the dynamism of her shifting immediate environment - from cities to remote settings, politically engaged street art and chance encounters - into a study of devotion and mortality through life and death rituals focusing specifically on two cultural sites: the Day of the Dead rituals in Los Angeles (California, USA) and Mexico City (District Federal, Mexico).
Across two sites—SASA Gallery and Liverpool St Gallery—Calaveras comprises of large-scale wall-based photographs, texts, maps, and street altar work in a layered meditation on geographies, ecologies and spirituality.
The resulting works elaborate on ritualised cultural expressions of commemoration and celebration and ways they connect us to people and place.

Alex DeGaris: PLAY
FRIDAY 1 JULY - FRIDAY 22 JULY 2022
PLAY presents a series of interactive virtual spaces that allow the audience to explore the emergence of creativity and collaboration through social interaction. The works consider the ways in which contemporary subjectivities may be mediated and formed in conjunction with technological apparatus while questioning humanist understandings of the body.
Concurrent to PLAY, Alex DeGaris’ work, Shadows of Light, is currently part of Invisibility at MOD.
