Christina Mitrentse presents Emblem - Deconstructed And Destroyed, a new public art installation, that will inaugurate Trinity’s “Billboard” - an ongoing programme of site-specific billboard pieces which will be viewable 24/7. The project pays tribute to conceptual British Artist John Latham. The work forms part of Mitrentse’s acclaimed ongoing project Add To My Library (recently exhibited at Art Work Space, The Hempel, West London). In response to John Latham’s book-relief sculpture which penetrates the main window fronting Flat Time House in Peckham, Mitrentse’s work takes the form of a large-scale screen printed ‘Book Flag’, addressing the Trinity building’s edifice, paying devoted tribute to this important post-war artist.
In addition to this Trinity’s new interior gallery space will host a participatory floor-based installation in which Mitrentse will collaborate with local book-sellers to create an ephemeral Meta-Library where the audience is welcome to reconstruct and purchase a variety of books and rare art publications that compose the work and continual “Bibliographic Data Flow”. A performance by artist and curator Aoife Van Linden Tol will also take place at the opening.
The Private View and Launch Evening is on Friday 30 September, at 19:00, at Trinity (310 Creek Road, Greenwich, London).
