Performative Screenings: Ava Binta Giallo

Friday May 29 – Sunday May 31, 2–6 pm
with readings performed by Ava Binta Giallo during the opening hours of Independent Space Index

The exhibition will be on view until June 19, 2026.

Sometimes the surface of the painting is reflected in the surfaces around it. At times, shapes fall out, emerge from it or expand beyond it. The drawn garden or the empty field that is taking shape reflect, in the water-puddles, the light of past or future images.
In other words, the image has fallen into composted earth. Perhaps bodies and forms have transformed and rearranged themselves. The pictorial surface remains the playground for negotiation. Wondering whether colours, as areas or lines, can function like seeds (here)? And what might grow from them if one were to water and fertilise them.
