Now the east wind hunts
09.05 - 21.06.2025
Nir Altman is pleased to present "Now the east wind hunts" Littlewhitehead's fouth solo exhibition with the gallery!
‘Structures of feeling’ and ‘affective landscapes’ are cultural studies terms that could also be used to describe the environments littlewhitehead create. The exhibition includes both sculpture and painting, objects that evoke the atmosphere of a place, an atmosphere then mined for its ideological and social significance.
Abandonment might be said to be littlewhitehead’s artistic method, since they remove all signs of life from their work. This process of abandonment helps littlewhitehead get at the object’s ideological substructure, real things become an idea or image of themselves, their meaning coming to the fore as their use value recedes. As dystopian as this sounds, littlewhitehead do not deal in either fantasy or realism, but in a heightened version of experience, showing how systems of representation so thoroughly determine how we move through the world.
