Torkwase Dyson's Liquid a Place at Pace London explores water as contested space through sculpture and performance

The exhibition titled Liquid a Place by Torkwase Dyson will debut at Pace London on 8 October and continue until 6 November. The artist, who is based in New York, showcases three substantial black sculptures characterized by semicircular shapes, designed to align with a performer's height of 188 cm. Accompanying these sculptures is a sound installation, with performances scheduled for 7, 9, and 11 October, featuring a mix of dancers, poets, and scholars. Additionally, the exhibition offers a limited-edition dubplate album featuring DJ Ron Trent, Gaika, and Ase Manual, celebrating Black music in the UK. Dyson's work explores the intricate histories of water, building on her previous exhibition, 1919: Black Water, and encompasses various mediums including painting, performance, sound, sculpture, and architecture, emphasizing themes of community and resistance.
