Clench (10 - 17th Oct, Lady Beck, Leeds, UK)
The exhibition consisted of new works in form of photography, performance and sculpture. Live performance occurred during the private view 10th October, a collaboration between Emma Bäcklund and Hamish Macpherson. The performance explored restraint, adaption, interdependency and isolation through subtle investigative movement processes wearing a twin sweater made by Emma's mom Tatiana Bjarne.

Clench explore mimicry and repetition, restraint and discharge in relation to support structures within care systems. Using sculpture, photography and performance, the exhibition investigates the ways in which limitations on bodies produce habitual and automatic gestures. How do systems, structures and other bodies influence the way we move within space? How are cultural, institutional and social problems expressed in physical form? Are we moving, or are we being moved?
