Following his successful commission and exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery, Joshua Leon will present a show of new works at South Parade.
Grapewatching is the colloquial term for people obsessed by the colour purple, a colour Leon repeatedly perceives during the migraine auras he suffers chronically. It is also a colour his mother, a garment maker, has a deep and long-standing passion for.
The light bulbs have been removed from the gallery as a preventive measure, as they are migraine triggers.
All the works in the show are installed at 1 m 20 cm, the height Leon sat at while looking at his mother’s kitchen.
