T
he phrase ‘going south’ has at times been colloquially
figured in the North, as going down under, down on,
cashing out, towards a worse position.... off the map.
This Going South exhibition challenges such stereotypes
and inaugurates a project which references landscapes from New
Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. This
exhibition consists of a set of paintings whose metaphors and
methods speak to a radiant and subversive nether world.
This Going South exhibition in Somerset House East Wing will be
the concluding event of Lola Frost’s Leverhulme Artist’s Residency
in the Department of War Studies, King’s College London.
Throughout this residency Lola Frost has engaged with students
and scholars in the Department of War Studies on the productive
possibilities of aesthetic risk, as a riposte to the ubiquity of risk
management values in contemporary life and war.
