From 4-12 March 2020, Martha [Alzheimer's Machine III] will be exhibited at Shieldfield Art Works as part of their 2020 Take Over Programme. This solo exhibition will bring together a body of work developed over the past 4 years exploring the effect of Alzheimer's disease on the way we see and understand the world around us through the eyes of Martha, a fictional character living with Alzheimer's.
As Martha transitions into a care environment, she re-experiences moments of her life unfolding across surreal stages that resonate with both domestic and care environments. From moments of personal significance to seemingly incidental memories, the competing and intersecting narratives within the work create a complex portrait of Martha’s changing relationships to others, her surroundings and herself.
The overall Take Over Programme will launch on Friday 7 February from 6-8pm and there will be a Preview for the exhibition on Friday 6 March from 6-8pm. For further details about the exhibition programme and gallery opening times, please visit the event page.
