Summer Exhibition Preview at White Cube Bermondsey

Join us for two exhibition previews and a special summer party to celebrate the openings of ‘Alien Shores’, curated by Susanna Greeves, and ‘Sara Flores: Bakish Mai’ at White Cube Bermondsey.

‘Bakish Mai’ is the first solo exhibition in the UK by Sara Flores (b. 1950), one of the foremost contemporary artists emerging from the Amazonian basin. The presentation debuts the artist’s first film work alongside new patterned, abstract paintings from her ‘Pei Kené’ series. Kené is an ancient medium central to the Shipibo-Conibo nation, an Indigenous people residing along the Ucayali River to which Flores belongs.

‘Alien Shores’, a group show curated by White Cube Global Director Susanna Greeves, explores landscape as a place of memory, imagination, yearning and belonging. Through painting, video, photography and sculpture, it offers speculative, symbolic or surreal depictions of emotional terrain and voyages of the imagination; visions of the distant past or possible futures. These are landscapes once removed: shaped by emotional distance, filtered through technology, mythology or abstraction.

Summer drinks and snacks will be served in the gallery courtyard.
