THE ANTHROPOLOGIST SOLO EXHIBITION ♻️ THE BASIN, 2022 Variable 90 x 60 x 68 cm (35.43 x 23.62 x 26.77 ) The Sarabande Foundation is situated next to a canal basin; a term used to describe an expanse of waterway alongside or at the end of a canal. Light emitted from the plughole traverses across a sink filled with canal water. Here, the artist discusses humanity’s curation of water. We produce greywater when washing our clothes, we carve out canals for transportation and leisure, and we filter the water humans have flushed through their systems for thousands of years. Armitage Shanks sink (found at the Sarabande Foundation), canal water, rubber glove (no label), recycled label, thread, concrete, stone, LED. #matthewneedham #matthewneedhamstudio #sarabande #sarabandefoundation #theanthropologistexhibition #londonartist #upcycling #discoverartists #earthday
