German artist Silke Otto-Knapp’s new exhibition, Monday or Tuesday at the Camden Arts Centre, takes its name from a short story by Virgina Woolf, published in 1921. Her translucent paintings are inspired by literature, dance, landscape and cultural history, evoked in gouache and watercolour that are washed away in layers to reveal forms beneath. Fugitive figures emerge to engage the active participation of the viewer in these atmospheric and ambiguous artworks. Silke Otto-Knapp’s exhibition is accompanied by a season of dance events, learn more at this link.
