E. Jane / Hardeep Pandhal Opening GI Festival, Kelvin Hall, Glasgow

Opening event for two exhibitions as part of Glasgow International’s Director’s Programme at Kelvin Hall.

E.Jane – Lavendra

Lavendra is the name given by American artist and sound designer E. Jane to a fantastical brown dwarf star, an imagined planetary cosmos ‘stabilised’ for human presence by the harmonising influence of 1990s black pop divas including Aaliyah, Whitney Houston and Toni Braxton.

Taking in themes associated with Afrofuturism, Lavendra is driven by both a sense of what might be magical in the internet era – when identity and representation are given a heightened digital public platform – as well as a desire to heal.

Hardeep Pandhal – Self-Loathing Flashmob

Hardeep Pandhal creates a new installation in the institutional environs of Kelvin Hall’s foyer and dancehall.

With this large-scale work, stretching across two floors, he presents an upturned world suggesting that whilst technology might mutate, evolve and eventually slip into obsolescence, the sociopathic tendencies of the ‘totalising eye’ remain dangerously consistent.
