Mezz #04 - Nick
Laessing
Nick Laessing’s work hovers between
fact and fiction, tuning into the world around in such a way
that leaves you caught between what you would like to be true
and what is actually true. His latest project focusses on
the Soviet scientist Victor Stephanovich Grebennikov and his
‘discovery’ of the gravity-defying properties
of certain insect wing cases, with which he made a wingless
flying machine.

Belinda Gilbert
Scott and Louise Gilbert Scott
Belinda’s paintings are about light and imagining light
being a 3d shape like molton glass. The work on show will
be an exploration in taking the painting outside the surface
of the flat canvas, in relief and projecting film onto thread.
‘An experiment in releasing the colour from the surface’.
