Rachel Pimm @ Hales Gallery

Resistant Materials, an exhibition of new works by Rachel Pimm exploring the processes and economies of clay. Taking place at Hales London, this will be Pimm’s first solo project with the gallery, following the winter 2015 group exhibition Rachael Champion | Agnes Denes | Rachel Pimm.
Pimm’s work, spanning video and photography, sculpture, installation and performance, constitutes an ongoing catalogue of, and investigation into, the materiality of our environments. These explorations often take place from the point of view of non-human agents such as plants, minerals, worms, water, plastic and rubber, delving into their material histories and the politics and economics of their contemporary usage.
For Resistant Materials Pimm has turned to the image of the single white tile, excavating the complex processes by which raw clay minerals are transformed – and resist transformation – into the smooth, clean surfaces of the tiled grid.
