SUMMARY:Fireweed - Multimedia exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In the 8th exhibition of the SUPER ESTATE PROJECTS, artist
 s Liz Davis, Clare Gerrard and Susanna Jacobs present work exploring d
 ifferent aspects of wild nature in the city.\n\nLiz Davis’ work invo
 lves the passing of time, with two projects on past and future. In the
  fifty years the flora of the city has altered; Liz Davis’ first pro
 ject sets out to find plants which exemplify these changes. These moun
 ted specimens will become part of the Natural History Museum’s archi
 ve. Through painting and sculpture, Davis’ second project looks to t
 he deep future when humans abandon the City, the Golden Lane Estate re
 verts to nature, and a new ecology emerges. The buildings are overgrow
 n, Great Arthur House will be alive with birds, and the now manicured 
 open spaces will become thickets within which wild animals will roam.\
 n\nDrawn from field research carried out in the City, Clare Gerrard ha
 s made a document of a present day landscape of the City and Golden La
 ne. Since the Golden Lane Estate was built in 1958 the natural envirom
 ent of the area has changed drastically. Once it was surrounded by bom
 bsites and ruins and yet full of wildlife, plants and birds. Now wildl
 ife survives temporaily before it is routinely cleared from the street
 s and parks or sites as they are developed. The is a record of wild pl
 ants and flowers found growing in the City today.\n\nSusanna Jacobs is
  showing an installation of drawing and animation. The austere simplic
 ity of the architecture of Golden Lane Estate is seen as a group of st
 age sets where the drama of the past canc be re-imagined. The estate b
 ecomes wilderness, and nature is resurgent in scenes reminiscent not j
 ust of the overgrwon ruins of the Blitz, but also of the primitive lan
 dscape of prehistoric London.\n\n*FIREWEED (rosebay willow herb/epilob
 ium angustifolium), A plant that grew on the bomb site that became Gol
 den Lane Estate, it is known as a flower that grows easily on earth th
 at has been burnt.\n\nFor more information visit http://www.goldenlane
