Abstract:	This exhibition aims to undo the identity of both physical and digital objects. Dunseath and Squires are interested in the human negotiation of objects: gherkins; J-Cloths; frankfurters; insoles; pomegranates become ‘part objects’, their identity undermined and their place in the world called into question. The exhibition presents an exploration of physical and digital objects operating in the world of use and consumerism, and through the materiality of sculptural practice. Spatial relationships and our negotiation with representation and signification are highlighted through perceptual tactility and relational aspects which move through the immediate surroundings and the unknown journeys of the digital. These subject-object encounters are explored through physical and digital mediation within the not quite fixed space of Six Second Gallery. As studio space it allows an environment that is changeable, from process to presentation allowing an oscillation of the sculptural object to the quotidian. Outside the space is Ridley Road market. The title comes from an often used call to shoppers to the many fruit n’ veg, mobile phone, clothes, household items and textiles stalls that jostle and call to the eye. ‘av a look! sits itself in this context and borrows from the possibilities of the display mechanisms used in the market, to open a space between the allure of objects and the instability of perception.

Note:	Exhibition by Jenny Dunseath and Kate Squires. Organised by Galen Riley. Dunseath and Squires started collaborating with the film As Seen 2020-21 which was shown online at Skelf. As Seen explored encounters between subject and object putting into question the identity of objects and the reliability of perception. Concerned with issues of surface, tactility, material and representation, the use of the screen with ‘real’ objects acknowledged differing degrees of realness and physicality. ‘ave a look is an iteration of As Seen, with the complication of exploring the tangible against the virtual and a different proximity or environment.
