The Colony by Nature The Artist
at Gasholders, King's Cross (10-21 April)

Some years ago, a new species of bees was discovered living underground in London. Finally, the last 15 years of research is being presented in a new exhibition, The Colony by 'Nature The Artist' in King's Cross. Opening Wednesday 10 April, The Colony delves into the curious lives of these bees. Initial studies seemed to show their endeavours were nothing out of the ordinary, fulfilling the role nature had assigned to them - but were they in fact engaged in something more intriguing?

In The Colony, Nature The Artist's also known as Tomas Joao, first ever exhibition in the UK, the audience explores a blacked-out room with a lantern, encouraging them to carefully approach beehive structures on display in the darkness. This quiet interaction, in these relatively vulnerable conditions, enables the audience to discover the residue of an unknown species, indicating all may not be as it seems. While the impressive beauty of the structures themselves stand, the stories they tell both alter the perceptions of what the viewer is looking at and emphasises the ephemerality of nature itself.

Opening hours: 10-21 April:
Weds - Fri, 12pm - 8pm / Sat - Sun 11am - 5pm
10C, Gasholders, London, King's Cross
