Threshold, installation at Netil House, London




A recent installation at Netil House in Hackney, entitled Threshold.
A slice of nature cutting through the architecture of the space, where
programmed rain fell from the ceiling and viewers were invited to plant seeds in
an act of participation for the duration of the installation. The images were
taken at the end of the installation where the seedlings began to grow.

POLYply (Performance & films) at the Centre for Creative Collaboration



POLYply is a series of events including poetry readings, performances, film screenings and installations foregrounding cross-genre writing. Each event is organised around a particular theme, with a diverse range of practitioners invited to participate including poets, artists, musicians and architects. Alongside Allen Fisher, Ken Hyder, Justin Katko and Marianne Morris, we each presented a new piece of work or work in progress for the event themed 'Energy'.
The aim of POLYply is to promote dialogue and discussion amongst creative practitioners writing in an expanded field by providing a space for the dissemination of new work within poetic practice. The POLYply series is run by members of the Poetics Research Group at Royal Holloway (University of London), all of whom teach on the MA in Poetic Practice, and hosted by the Centre for Creative Collaboration at Acton Street in King’s Cross.

Still Life, installation at the London School of Economics






'Created as part of the St Philips Exhibition, which brings together new works from some twenty artists into the vacant space of a former workhouse and hospital in the weeks before its demolition, Kerrigan has created a piece that blends the spectre of the modern ruin with the painterly domain of the traditional still life.'

Text: Christien Garcia, curator

The St Philips Exhibition took place 5 – 13 May 2011. The building is currently under going demolition. http://stphilips.tumblr.com/
