Kendall Koppe is delighted to present new works by Laura Aldridge for Condo London 2024.
Laura Aldridge works with a broad range of media; photography, textiles, ceramics, glass and with processes such as printing, casting and dyeing. Aldridge’s body of work moves freely between wall-based reliefs and sculptural assemblages or installations, playing on the abilities of ‘collage’ to operate in two and three-dimensions. Aldridge’s work often explores the double-bind of subjectivity and objectivity, making versus experiencing, viewing versus participating, attraction versus repulsion. Her work invites an impulsive response that is interrupted by barriers that limit a physical engagement with the work itself. At this intersection Aldridge allows the intuitive and the sensory to unfold - giving weight to a viewers own sensory reaction and experience.
Aldridge lives in Glasgow and works in Paisley. She will have a solo exhibition at Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh in May 2024. Recent solo exhibitions include sumVIGOUR, Cample Line, Cample(2021); The Outside is Inside Everything We Make – Laura Aldridge, Leanne Ross, Judith Scott, Kendall Koppe, Glasgow(2021); fromKStoyou, Kunsthalle Stavanger, Norway (2020–2021); Indirect Sunlight – Laura Aldridge and James Rigler, NewGallery, London, (2018); Plant Scenery of the World, Inverleith House, Edinburgh (2017); Go Woman Go!, British Council in Nigeria Season, Abuja, Nigeria (2016); Inside All My Activities, Koppe Astner, Glasgow (2016); One to another, one-to-one, Passerelle, Centre d‘art contemporain, Brest (2015); California wow!, Tramway, Glasgow (2015) and Laura Aldridge, StudioVoltaire, London (2011).
