ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS:
MIKE SILVA
Saturday 21 September 2024 –Sunday 19 January 2025
De La Warr Pavilion is pleased to present the first institutional solo exhibition of London-based artist, Mike Silva, for its autumn-winter season.
Silva (b. 1970, Sandviken, Sweden) paints portraits, interiors, still lifes, and landscapes drawn from an ongoing personal archive of photographic material. This archive, much of which is rooted in the London of the 1990s and early 2000s, is presented as an evolving constellation on the artist’s studio walls, with printed photographs tacked, taped, grid-lined, and painted. These images serve as a flexible material that Silva draws from instinctively, gradually shifting their subjects from the photographic to painted space.
CALLUM HILL: E-MINOR
Saturday 21 September 2024 –Sunday 19 January 2025
De La Warr Pavilion is pleased to present E-Minor, a major new film commission by Bristol-based artist, Callum Hill (b. 1987, Montreal, Canada). Combining 35mm and 16mm film and archival footage, this 13-minute piece takes viewers on a psychedelic journey to explore the shadows of Western society. E-Minor is characteristic of Hill’s approach to filmmaking, which moves between psychological enquiry, gender, politics, and poetry. Unpredictable and erratic in narrative, her films slip between documentary and fiction in their exploration of the human condition. The film will be presented in a site-specific installation in DLWP’s First floor gallery, together with an extensive engagement programme throughout the exhibition’s duration.
