Towards Deep and Radiant Time: Exhibition and Events
The Arcade at Bush House, King’s College London, Strand, London WC2B 4PJ
21 May – 27 July 2018: 9am – 6pm. Mondays to Fridays.
Free admission
Pulsing and transformative energies course through this exhibition of landscape paintings. Derived from photographs of the mountains of New Zealand, South Africa and Patagonia, these paintings unsettle the distinction between landscape and body and open up precarious encounters that are shaped by desire, vulnerability and interconnection. Here we are not ourselves. An emancipatory project, this art practice re-engages the disruptive potential of sublime landscape painting as a riposte to the regulating and instrumental impulses of our time.
The Arcade at Bush House is part of the King’s Cultural Quarter, and is home to a varied programme of events, installations and exhibitions, offering a forum where students, the academic community and the public can engage with each other, as well as with artists and cultural partners. @CulturalKings www.kcl.ac.uk/culture

RSVP via Eventbrite here
International relations scholar and dancer Dr Elke Schwarz, in conversation with artist Lola Frost, will sketch what might be ethically at stake in the improper sublime landscape paintings on show in this exhibition, and how these paintings open up precarious encounters that are shaped by desire, vulnerability and interconnection. International Curator Anja Henckel will open up these issues for discussion and audience participation.
Saturday 9th June: 2.45 – 4.15pm: Lola Frost: Aesthetic Risk: Subverting the subject of the landscape: King’s College London Alumni workshop: Alumni participants only.
Thursday 14th June: 5.30 – 7 pm: Beyond Time: spatiality, aesthetic language and humanity: Dr Pablo de Orellana, Tally de Orellana and Lola Frost. General Public.
RSVP via Eventbrite here
Lola Frost's paintings open up a discussion on space, time and the unexpected place of humanity therein. In this talk art historian and curator Tally de Orellana will explore the aesthetic language of these works, situating the spectator in these metaphorical landscapes. Pablo de Orellana then relates these paintings to wider ideas of narrative and infinite oscillation in space-time. These are ultimately constructs that come alive as precarious events in Frost's painterly aesthetic language. From here Lola Frost will explore the relation between embodied humanity and the calls of the non-human landscape.
