NINA CANELL - Into the Eyes as Ends of Hair

Into the Eyes as Ends of Hair brings together existing and newly commissioned sculptural works by Nina Canell for her first solo exhibition in London.
At the core of the exhibition is a new work that considers air as a carrier of ideas, focused on Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev’s conception of a periodic table of the elements in the late 1860s. Canell’s interest lies in capturing the manner in which the revelation was formed. After days and nights of re-arranging the elements on cards, in search of a pattern, it is said that Mendeleev drifted off at his desk, and on waking the elements suddenly fell into their respective place, in sequence of atomic weight. With this moment in mind, Canell, and collaborator Robin Watkins, traveled to St. Petersburg to collect a small quantity of air from Mendeleev’s study. While capturing the specific conditions of the preserved 19th century room still housing his personal belongings, desk and books, the endeavour evokes the idea that some residue of this amalgamation of thought might remain in the locality – or air – in which it took place.
