A new exhibition ‘The Grounds We Tread’ opens at London’s Pump House Gallery in April with a show of the same name featuring Czech conceptual artist Jiří Kovanda, Lloyd Corporation, Ilona Sagar and Cara Tolmie. The artists – who show consecutively throughout the exhibition – present individual performative works and exhibitions that dynamically transform the Gallery and the spaces beyond. New commissions and existing works explore the fascination with tracking our health through technology; the manipulative power of live singing and the spaces of its distribution; amateur forms of advertising and announcement in public places; and the negotiation and use of public and private areas.
Jiří Kovanda’s best known for his pioneering 1970s performances in Prague using his body to create disruptive public actions and often challenging social taboos
