UPCOMING EXHIBITION
Cherry Bomb!
Kate Burling, Douglas Cantor, Anna Choutova, Nettle Grellier, Gosia Kołdraszewska, Lydia Pettit, Olivia Sterling, Sophie Vallance Cantor
13 Sept - 4 Oct
PV: 12 Sept, 6-9pm
Cherry Bomb!, the tenth exhibition at miłość, features Kate Burling, Anna Choutova, Douglas Cantor, Nettle Grellier, Gosia Kołdraszewska, Lydia Pettit, Olivia Sterling, Sophie Vallance Cantor in their interpretations of the theme of cherries in the media of painting, drawing, installation and film.
Not unlike an apple, but sexier, the cherry has become a symbol of innocence and youth and their inevitable loss. Taking the title from the Runaway’s punk rock hit, the exhibition is an image of rebellion, decadence, loudness. Yet, in the abundance of sweetness and explosiveness, there is risk of nausea, and the loss of purity is traced with nostalgia – so be careful not to choke on the pit whilst you tie the stem into a knot.
Cherry Bomb! is accompanied by an exhibition text by Asha Palacios. The private view will coordinate with local openings, as we premiere the Haggerston Gallery Map together with Alma Pearl, Final Hot Desert, Project Loop and Seventeen.
