A pavilion is traditionally a space of retreat, and in art parlance a showcase. Winter Pavilion brings the two meanings together, using both the gallery and an off-site space.

Marcin Dudek will create Screen House in Shoreditch Park, a short walk from the gallery. This modular and portable building originally housed the artist’s studio in Whitechapel, and will now become an interactive viewing platform. Entering Screen House, visitors will be able to experience an alternative landscape consisting of peep-holes, collages and projections.

Dudek’s practice follows enclosed spaces – examining how we make them and how we interact with them when they are made. Dudek himself grew up in the housing estates that can be found across Poland, and his irritation with these was not so much to do with their sizes as with their repetition. Screen House is a humorous re-creation of the ‘module’, offering unexpected vistas and perspectives.

Dudek, born 1979 in Kraków, Poland, lives and works in London. Studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art. Recent exhibitions include 16th Biennial of Cerveira (Portugal), waterside contemporary, T1+2 (London).

The Winter Pavilion is supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London.
