WHAT TIME IS LOVE?

WHAT TIME IS LOVE? Nancy Clayton, Ntiense Eno-Amooquaye, Nick Fenn, Christian Ovonlen, Andre Williams, Dawn Wilson

1 October–2 November 2025 Opening celebration: Thursday 9 October 6–8pm

What Time is Love? is an exhibition created by six artists from Peckham based collective Intoart presented within the domestic space of Flat Time House, the studio home of artist John Latham (1921–2006). Incorporating textiles, furniture, book works, drawing, painting, sculptural garments and photography, the artworks in What Time is Love? speak in chorus about moments of connection and belonging. This group exhibition has grown from time spent by the artists at Flat Time House over two years, with the house forming a space to reflect, talk about their practice and think collectively. The monumental scale and ambition of these works is politically charged, representing at once the energy and emotional intensity of the dancer whilst confronting the marginalisation of disabled people in the history of art. The exhibition title, taken from The KLF’s 1988 electronic dance anthem What Time is Love? references a shared subject of exploration for the group: alternative histories of music and culture. Over the course of the artists’ extended research, they explored how self-identities are expressed through sound and are formed and evolve from different cultural backgrounds and sonic contexts. The works in conversation reveal deep connections and histories shared by the artists as part of Intoart which has developed as a scene in its own right over the past 25 years.

Flat Time House and Knotenpunkt are pleased to present an ambitious solo exhibition by UK based artist Eloise Hawser. Following a 6-month residency supported by Knotenpunkt, Hawser has developed a new body of work responding to the context of Flat Time House. Drawing from her longstanding interest in the shifting materiality of modern life, Civil Twilight explores media in transition, specifically newspapers, and how they’re encountered in public space.

AGATA MADEJSKA:

AGATA MADEJSKA: GRAND HABITAT HORROR VACUI

12 January–22 March 2024 EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND: SPECIAL OPENING HOURS THURSDAY–FRIDAY ONLY 12–6PM

Agata Madejska’s artwork explores the power structures inherent in language and speech. These explorations are often expressed as sound, sculpture and installation, alongside post-photographic processes. Informed by her personal history, of growing up in and migrating from post-communist Poland, Madejska has responded to the space at Flat Time House by expanding and overlaying these narratives with an exploration of the power dynamics of the domestic and intimate. The exhibition includes a series of site-specific interventions for the successive rooms of FTHo such as a padded leatherette floor, a smoke sculpture, spoken word sound piece and a large organza structure, each a specially commissioned artwork or environment. Grand Habitat Horror Vacui is the artist’s first UK institutional solo show.

With a background in photography, Madejska has increasingly pushed beyond the surface of the flat image, expanding into embedded and durational forms. This new body of work examines the parameters of value and revenue by looking at various ideologies of ownership, such as assets; natural and public resources; housing and infrastructure; the woman’s body as commodity; and the body politic at large. Through oblique critique of recent political debates, in Poland and internationally, Madejska scrutinises the structures of persuasion, be they myth or fable, propaganda or spam, gossip or speculation. For Grand Habitat Horror Vacui Madejska questions the articulation of power and how modes of address are used to assemble or disintegrate the public mood.

BOYLE FAMILY

BOYLE FAMILY DIG

12–16 October

Exhibition open Wednesday–Sunday 12–6pm

And by appointment from 17 October to 1 November

email to book: [email protected]


To mark the upcoming publication of Untitled (1956) – Red, Green and Yellow – Gone Fishing on 1 November, Flat Time House will screen a rarely seen film documenting Dig, a 1966 event organised by Boyle Family under the name ‘The Institute of Contemporary Archaeology’. The site of the happening, a roped off section of a demolition site in Shepherds Bush, turned out to be the site of an ornamental garden statue factory. Thirty or so diggers in three hours excavated hundreds of broken statues, moulds and tools.

At FTHo examples of these excavated sculptures will be exhibited alongside footage of the original happening. For Mark Boyle "the view that anything that exists is part of the contemporary environment... an object is not unworthy of our interest because it happens to be old or damaged or picturesque."
