Iain Sinclair and Ragnhildur Johanns have produced a triptych meditation on Eyjafjallajökull, the Icelandic volanic eruption finding form as a series of wall hung book sculptures – paper forms which appear to be a frozen moment of evolution between the book and the image, crossing Islands north, south and skyward.

David Kelly and Dylan Nyoukis have drawn together the dangling threads of modernist collage and guttural sound art to fashion a hyper cassette tape mural accompanied by super8 scratch screenings and original sonic dabblings.

Ben Morris & Marcus Slease have realised the aberrant underbelly of the gentle metropolis dirge in an acoustamatic tin tin of the city, bringing the offbeat poetics and grinding sonic beauty of London into three dimensions, falling off a wall.

Thomas Duggan and SJ Fowler print a poem in silk – silk fibroin, entirely biocompatible and biodegradable and programmed to disappear, when required, without leaving any trace – 3D poetry in a revolutionary new material developed using the very latest design technology, that has the potential to realise new environmentally sustainable modes of substance – material never seen in public before.

The exhibition is the backbone of our summer programme – four wholly original works of visual art born of radical collaborative practise where six months of exchange comes to fruition in the unique Hardy Tree gallery in St Pancras. The exhibition, and all events, are free of charge and intended as an opportunity for artists, poets and anyone with interest in the field to meet and share ideas along with the work. During this groundbreaking exhibition seven events, innovative in medium and form, will hope to shine a light on the most dynamic and creative poets and artists active in the contemporary London scene.
