The exhibition opens David Dale Gallery’s 2017 exhibitions programme, Annex. A programme of solo exhibitions, Annex intends to provoke artistic responses to the condition of using both gallery space and external warehouse. Communication between these spaces and responses to it, as it develops across all six exhibitions, will be central to this project.
In Slow Dance, the gallery will bring together a troop of portable oil-filled radiators, congregating to tell their oddly familiar story. In the warehouse, a video installation will trace subtle movements set in motion by such meetings. In both cases, the commonplace will speak through its own rhythms. The dance of the quotidian, beautifully unsettling in its pervasiveness.

Selected solo exhibitions include: Holy motors, Hong Kong (2016), Jupiter Woods, Vienna (2016); Interstate Projects, New York (2016); Sunday Painter, London (2015); The Royal Standard, Liverpool (2014).
