exhibitions
It went like this . . .
Stolenspace Gallery – 17 Osborn Street, London, E1 6TD
1st June – 2nd July 2023
StolenSpace Gallery welcomes back Dan Rawlings for his second solo exhibition with us: ‘It Went Like This’. This exhibition uses signage and sculptural installations relating to oil and hazardous chemical substances, to comment on their placement and consequences to nature.
Evident in his artworks is Rawlings’ strong interest in ecology, representing plants and foliage like Hawthorn, Nettles, and Brambles, known for their ability to thrive in extreme climatic conditions, while benefiting from the waste humans produce. His considered choices in his work creates a vision of a world where man’s impact is slowly being reclaimed by nature, with it’s resilience to thrive and survive.
Rawlings has gained global recognition for his masterful manipulation of metal and light, conceived with intricate hand-cut works of art, which cast equally impactful and beautiful shadows. In this new body of work, Rawlings encourages the viewer to reflect on their role in the natural world, and how our choices contribute to or take away from the planet. His artworks mirror a future in which we can question, reflect, and determine whether or not we will say: “It Went Like This”.

FUTURE RETURNS – Solo Show
20-21 Visual Arts
June 19th – 25th September
Church Square, Scunthorpe DN15 6TA
Everything is made to fall apart.
From clothes to i-phone batteries, cars to political policy- the quicker the better. And if it won’t fall apart quickly enough it is discredited for being high mileage, slow loading.. dulled.
We don’t see a future for our objects, and in the same token, we find it hard to imagine the future for ourselves.
The plant world knows how to play the long game, upwards, through the floor, through the ceiling, heading with poise and dexterity, assertive, straight for our sun. Extensive arms twist and knot up our neglected structures with a confidence steeped in hind and foresight.
Envision the future you want to live in.
Roots navigate the debris for the life they desire, surmounting concrete and bitumen, they’re invested.
Can you imagine?

Give Way
During the first lockdown the soundscape seemed to change overnight, I realised the motorway was totally silent. Everything else seemed to surge to this critical mass of branches and birdsong.’
This show centres around new works that let us daydream about derelict roads and of walking them, no longer liminal but as a new landscape. Nettles and brambles with their Inimical nature caution us as they envelope redundant street arrows, and traffic lights that flicker like the last moments of a wick. The stillness is invisible.
This place is for all of us now.

Intervention
November/December 2018 – The Hackney Creative Social Club
https://www.facebook.com/events/892081984324360/
Intervention, an exhibition of over 30 contemporary artists (including works by Aida Wilde, Paul Insect, Darren Cullen, Helen Bur and Edwin) opens on Friday 30th November 2018 in the gallery at East London’s new artist-hub and studio workspace: The Hackney Creative Social Club.
For the artist provocateurs featured in Intervention, the city is a stage and their audience are unwitting participants. Each exhibited work is in itself a game of call and answer: a charged signal sent out, yielding a visceral response from the viewer.
Dioramas of micro-citizens stopped in their tracks by splats of bird excrement sit alongside unsolicited public fountains, disruptive bus stop signs, fake recruitment campaigns, illegal golf ball traffic controls, pirate projections and a slew of subversive street art messaging. Pure Evil repurposes street signs, Carrie Reichardt covers houses with mosaics depicting Mexican-style Day of the Dead skulls and Dan Rawlings cuts elaborate silhouettes from street signs in this provocatively playful collection.
Using multiple mixed media to startling, disquieting and amusing effect, Intervention riffs on the very fabric of the inner-city, injecting a healthy edge of rebellion into the everyday and transforming commonplace architecture and items of urban infrastructure into zones of challenging artistic exploration.
The Venue:
Opened in December 2018, The Hackney Creative Social Club features a gallery, restaurant, photo lab and 10 art studios available to rent at reasonable rates. Breaking the mould of the ubiquitous “creative work hubs” rampantly propagating across the city, this members club was spawned as a space with soul and is set to become central to the support and survival of London’s artistic underbelly.
About the curators:
Founded in 2016 by Ema Marinova, 1963 Gallery, London, represents a number of urban artists, utilising permanent and temporary exhibition spaces to spread art’s transformative potential.
2018 saw the launch of Simon Vaughan’s Creative Giants, a Brighton based creative production company specialising in immersive, large-scale interactive art installations at festivals and in exhibition spaces.
