MAY SPACE is proud to present a new suite of sculptures by represented artist- Peter Tilley.My interest in the connections between the figure and the shadow it casts- once more forms the basis of this body of work. Images of the self were seen indistinctly in polished materials prior to the production of silvered mirrors. Historically- this resulted in a semantic ambiguity between 'reflection' and 'shadow' and is another element I have explored in this body of work. Some of the sculpture's cast shadows are voids and some are material constructions- they symbolically or visually disclose withheld traits of the casting figure that may not be consciously observed. Our usual perceptive process evaluates an object by its real cast shadow and then quickly dispenses with that shadow from our perception. Conversely- these tactile- sculpted material shadows are not only visible- but their tangible presence can be noticed and scrutinised for meaning.Most works in this exhibition are concerned with the relationship between psychological and physical perception- or the abstract and the tangible. In Jungian psychology- the shadow contains those parts of ourselves that remain suppressed- denied- or are unfavourable aspects of the personality- 'the dark side of the self'. In Jung's words 'The shadow personifies everything that the subject refuses to acknowledge about himself [sic].' Another underlying influence in all of my works is the symbolism associated with Ancient Egyptian funerary culture. The simplicity of form and reserved stance of the figure represent one aspect of this bias- and is referenced by Ancient Egyptian artistic canons- Peter Tilley- 2020Join us on Saturday 24 October from 11am to 3pm for an extended opening with Peter Tilley.

MAY SPACE is proud to present it's fourth solo exhibition with Tania Lou Smith- Untitled (pusher)Untitled (pusher) 2019Pusher is a short- tragicomic video work. A harried woman in a bright red dress and stilettos bounds across a stadium pushing an empty stroller. The reason for her sense of urgency is unclear. Pusher is a wry take on parenting- anxiety- navigating public space and all of these things mixed together.Untitled (pram variations) 2020Bend. Lug. Heave. Pull. Flick. Adjust. Stretch. Squeeze. Slither. Untitled (pram variations) is a musical score. A set of scales practiced on an uncooperative instrument. A steel and canvas extension of the familial body. Poking- catching- jarring and pinching. This new series of photographic works is a playful response to the physicality of caring.Join us on Saturday 24 October from 11am - 3pm for an extended opening. Drinks will be provided.MAY SPACE has an active COVID Safety Plan.

There's a kind of innocence and earnestness to looking up at the clouds. It's something we do as children - searching for shapes- glimpses of meaning that might suddenly give form to the expansive and changing sky. This yearning to explore and make sense of our world is lost as we grow. When we're not looking down- we look up and feel suddenly small- distant to whatever lays beyond and at the same time- completely at its mercy.It's this notion of the sublime that Jackson Farley uses as the backdrop to his work- but rather than surrendering to these systems of value at play- he peers through - poking and prodding- making fun and inserting his own narrative.His images- taken on his iPhone and blown up 17 times to scale- are riddled with Jackson's mark making- zany loose drawings overlay the forms of clouds- rock faces and flowers and he uses text to give voice to the anecdotes and narratives at the heart of each work. Whether it's 'i miss you' sprawled out over the heavens or lyrics to Taylor Swifts 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' tagged onto 'Jesus' tomb'- each mark becomes a catharsis and speaks to a kind of universal history - a mourning for naivety- lost love and family departed.In Jackson's video work- which shares the exhibition's title- we see a tangible 69th edit of the Bible. The Old and New Testaments are collaged together with the artist's personal narrative to create a hypnotic world that embellishes the fantastical nature of the original text. The crucifix that Jesus died on finds its voice and 'naughty' escapades ensue in the party to end all parties- where the faithful are turned into 'techno fish' and father and son finally have that much needed talk.Using irony- afforded by combining seemingly 'pure' and 'impure' imagery and text- Jackson channels the subliminal and parodies the way in which we see ourselves and our world. With the crudeness of slapstick- schoolboy humour and sexual innuendo- this body of work speaks to the irony of religion- god and notions thereof- whilst also conversely- being just as sentimental- heart-felt and self-reflective.In many ways- TESTAMENT PT. XXXXXXVIIII plays with value: we search for identifiable shapes in the clouds- find ourselves in the lyrics of Taylor Swift songs and we cannot help but identify the number 69 with oral sex. These dualisms almost appear as compulsions- competing for primacy within the spaces of image and video- one sitting alongside the other. They speak to the pathos and hierarchy of Catholicism- whilst also pointing out its irrevocable contradictions.Covid-19 guidelinesIn light of the Covid crisis and to ensure your safety we request that all visitors register upon entry and maintain social distancing.
