Spatial Narratives
Spatial Narratives, at The Auxiliary Project Space, Middlesbrough, is the first solo exhibition by artist Loucey Bain, and it coincides with The Auxiliary’s fourth anniversary as an organisation. Spatial Narratives was a result of Bain’s year-long embodied research into the visual narratives and social relations of The Auxiliary building, drawing on her roles as artist, studio holder and gallery assistant.
The installation and series of drawings in this show acted as a reader for a set of interior locations within the 11,000 sq ft warehouse building, at a time when the absence of a landscape of journeys is keenly felt across the world. Using the very stuff of the building itself, Bain narrates stories of the individual and collective through fictive forms, and through presence and absence, to construct a place of the self at a particular point in time.
