Some of Karin’s work was featured in the Janus exhibition at Cafe Gallery Projects London, Southwark Park SE16 from 18 January – 4 February 2006

The promotional flyer had this to say about the theme of the exhibition:

Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, beginnings and endings, change, transition and all that is double edged in life, unlocking the portals to whatever is termed ?culture?.

In the month of Janus, Cafe Gallery Projects London open their doors to the Bermondsey Artists’ Group (BAG) Biennale. This is the first in a series of exhibitions and events, featuring work proposed, selected, made and curated by members of the Bermondsey Artists’ Group. The exhibition consists of a multi-disciplinary selection of works responding to the patron of January.

Founded in 1984 by members of the Bermondsey Artists’ Group, Cafe Gallery Projects London is an artist-led initiative. It promotes a wide range of work, from internationally recognised artists to various creative practices beyond the gallery system. This exhibition provides a rare chance to see the talent of the membership behind the organisation.

Alive art programme consisting of performances by exhibitors and collaborations with invited artists will run as an integral part of the exhibition.

The pieces of Karin’s work that were shown in the exhibition were: two from the Bankside Power Station cycle: the detail shot featuring part of a gate which joins and separates an electric sub-station from Tate Modern. The second image was created from an interior shot (detail) of the roof of Bankside Power Station but makes architectural references to the windows of that building. The third picture shows the Canary Wharf IRA bombing plus advertising hoardings.

at The Space, Hubbub Bar
throughout November 2004

In the confined space of the upstairs bar Karin exhibits four works, all of which have been in major exhibitions both in London and Bristol. Of particular interest is a piece which records the result of bomb damage in Marsh Wall (Last shown at the Salon des Arts, Kensington, London). Three further ‘paintings’ have as their subject the last working spice mill in Butlers Wharf, a building which has now been converted into luxury flats.

As of last weekend, Karin has moved studio – the Trundle Street studios have now closed, so she has had to relocate from Borough to a new location in Rotherhithe. Douglas Schwab has posted some thoughts and a couple of pictures he took at the farewell party on his moblog:

• Art and the Photograph
• Photos and Community

A picture of Karin’s was hung at The Salon des Arts, London, from November 11th to December 14th as part of an exhibition called Religion, Art and War. The exhibition will go to Jerusalem in February, where it will be on show at the The Artists House for three weeks, after which it will move to Haifa to the Arab/Jewish Centre for two weeks. With luck the exhibition will return to London so that those of you who did not catch it the first time round can go and see it.
