The Link Gallery

Whispering Knights: Neolithic Echoes

1 December 2019 to 29 February 2020

This exhibition brings together images of environmental land art near the Rollright Stone Circle next to the Whispering Knights Dolmen in Oxfordshire.

These land art pieces are ephemeral shapes and structures that look their best for a short time and then start to decay as insects, mycelium, weather and time work their magic.

For more information on the Whispering Knights Project see www.whisperingknights.org

Cow Photofinish

An installation by Julian Benjamin

1 June to 31 August 2019

A 26 metre long print depicting the race to the milking shed.

The unlikely pairing of a dairy herd with photo finish technology is offered as a commentary on human-data relations. In the digital world, our own data is as much a commodity as the milk our subjects are on their way to deliver. This installation also speaks of a wider tension between culture and nature - a convergence of the two played out in a granular and glitched tragicomedy.

Julian is also exhibiting his Dog Photographs at the Old Fire Station Gallery, Oxford from 21 June to 20 July 2019.
