Join our SPIN host Alhena Katsof and the artist Katy Dove for a discussion about Katy’s solo exhibition Rhythm Section.
Rhythm Section is the culmination of Katy’s two-year residency at Platform. Working in collaboration with musicians, architects, a choreographer and artist Simon Yuill, she has produced a body of new work that includes an animated film exhibited alongside watercolours, drawings and paintings. These works exemplify her ongoing approach to slowing down time and concentrating the viewer’s attention through colour shifts, sound, simple forms and shapes that build into immersive environments. The exhibition reflects the diversity of opportunity open to Katy during her PARTners residency and combines both Katy’s own studio-based practice and work made through community projects.
Rhythm Section will be the first major exhibition at Platform since it opened in 2007. The Bridge, the award-winning building which houses the gallery, was designed by Gareth Hoskins. It has been the recipient of numerous awards to date including the Royal Institute of British Architects National Award (2007), the Scottish Design Awards Best Public Building (2007) and the Scottish Design Awards Architecture Grand Prix 2007.
