Reactor Collective's 'Here, The Gold Ones Meet' Exhibition at Bonington Gallery
The exhibition 'Here, The Gold Ones Meet,' presented by the art collective Reactor, which includes Susie Henderson and Niki Russell, is on display at Bonington Gallery in Nottingham until 29 May. Adapting to pandemic limitations, this showcase creates a layered, fictional realm featuring characters such as Max Gold, Rat Scout, Ivan Poe, and Quack. Attendees explore disordered spaces while engaging with overlapping video and audio elements. The installation merges physical and digital realms, highlighted by Max Gold's motivational talks and the presence of unseen laughter disrupting the sound. Previous works by the collective include 'Total GHAOS' (2005) and 'The Green Man & Regular Fellows' (2011). Entry is free, but booking through Eventbrite is required; gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm and Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm.
