Anna Burns: Gut Feelings

19th June - 23rd June Daily | 1pm - 7pm

GUT FEELINGS is a brand-new installation questioning human intuition’s role in the current age of algorithmic monotony. While push notifications press us to chug along in endless machine suggested rhythms, Burns urges us to pay attention to our gut - encouraging us all to allow the analogue sound, vibrant colours, ritualistic iconography and literal spilling of guts to physically move us through a speculative, ritual space of the future, as she imagines it.

Apps now tell us when to get up, when to get pregnant, who to date, and what to listen to. Led by Burns’ past experience in commercial set design, alongside day to day observations of a you-might-also-like lifestyle, GUT FEELINGS presents 13 female doll figures spilling their guts and attempting to connect them, to tap into an interconnected, cosmic and divine feminine spectacle.

LOCATION
GUT FEELINGS takes place in The Old Waiting Room at Peckham Rye station, a stunning vaulted hall which lay abandoned for sixty years before reopening as part of the station’s renovation. Designed in the French Second Empire style, the space was once adorned with huge gas chandeliers, providing a place for Victorian commuters to take a breather.

GUT FEELINGS is presented as a part of Making Connections 2024 an artistic series of events co-created with Peckham creatives, to champion arts accessibility, local ownership and agency.
