Sophia Al-Maria & Victoria Sin – Astral Bodies Electric, Make Up!

Now showing at London’s 180 The Strand.

The Store X The Vinyl Factory’s new group exhibition at 180 The Strand, TRANSFORMER: A Rebirth Of Wonder, sees Jefferson Hack curate newly commissioned and debut works by Doug Aitken, Sophia Al-Maria & Victoria Sin, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Donna Huanca, Juliana Huxtable, Evan Ifekoya, Dozie Kanu, Quentin Lacombe, Lawrence Lek, Jenn Nkiru, Chen Wei and Harley Weir & George Rouy.

Astral Bodies Electric, Make Up! was commissioned for Transformer as a development of the ongoing collaboration between artists Sophia Al-Maria and Victoria Sin. Emerging from the hinterland of science fiction, this two-screen video installation is the culmination of their shared interests in jazz musician Alice Coltrane, the manga series Sailor Moon and the possibilities of poetry.

TRANSFORMER: A Rebirth Of Wonder runs from October 2 to December 8 at The Store X 180 The Strand, London WC2R 1EA. The exhibition is open Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm – 7pm and entry is free. Find out more here.
