By Local gallery showcases next exhibition
The Turntable Gallery is situated in the heart of Grimsby in the centre of Grimsby Town, outside of the shopping precinct.
The gallery previously opened with their Perineum/Perineum exhibition last month where many keen members of the public were drawn into the crafted front display.
They have taken to social media to announce their next exhibition by artist Abigail Jouanides, ‘You Will Find Me Under The Heaviest Of Blankets’- which is to open April 23rd-May 21st.
“Turntable Gallery is delighted to announce the first solo exhibition by artist Abigail Jouanides. ‘You Will Find Me Under the Heaviest of Blankets’ is a tender, but visceral opening into the experience and impact of a late autism diagnosis.” they posted to social media.
“The works explore the weight and grief of processing years of feeling hidden under layers of protection, only to have those stripped away, and that which lies beneath, revealed, raw and unflinching.
“Abigail brings together drawings, embossings, sculptures, and writings which invite you into her experiences through a profound kinship with rock pools. Extending beyond the physical place, in resonance with these uncovered landscapes.
The gallery is situated in Grimsby Town, Victoria Street, along a line of shops guiding you to the premises.
“The works are a repetitive manifestation of an inner need to expel what is within via deep pressure and tactile friction. Abigail processes the trauma and grief of living without knowing”.
Abigail Jouanides lives and works in Eastbourne, UK. is a recent graduate of the Royal College of Art. She received a late Autism diagnosis in 2021 at the age of 32, which then brought many co-occurring discoveries over the past year.
“In addition, we would like to acknowledge the generous contribution from Grimsby Creates. Their award has made this possible. Through their Artist’s Development Fund, we have been allowed to research, develop and launch a turntable gallery, as a flagship space, in the beating heart of Great Grimsby- A special thanks to Lucy Wells and Stuart Shackleton for their support and dedication throughout.”.
