‘Home’ by Permindar Kaur
HS Projects is delighted to present ‘Home’, an exhibition of new and existing works by Permindar Kaur, surveying the artist’s continuing interest in the ‘public’ and ‘private’ and a common central question in her practice: ‘where is home?’.
Kaur presents a range of work from early in her career along with new works made specifically for this exhibition, including three major new sculptures, ‘Overgrown House’, 2020, a large steel structure, over 3 metres high with steel offshoots randomly growing around the fully grown house; ‘Untitled (Bed)’, 2020, converting this very public space into a bedroom in a private home; and ‘Untitled (Small Table & Chairs)’, 2020, challenging perceived notions of settlement and security associated with home.

‘Playing Real Pretend’ by Laura Ford
HS Projects is delighted to announce the opening of ‘Playing real pretend’ at 5 Howick Place, an exhibition of recent works, not shown in London before, by Laura Ford, one of the UK’s leading contemporary artists.
Laura Ford’s sculptures are faithful representations of fantasy with sometimes bitter sweet and menacing qualities mixed with tenderness. Ford uses humour and an acute observation of the human condition to engage with wider social and political issues. Her work is intensely crafted but playful and she has used a range of media to realise her work including drawing, painting, performance, set design and has increasingly taken on the challenge of public art alongside museum and gallery shows.
