Incubation is a word that historically has been used to describe the process of sitting on, and warming eggs in order to hatch them. This relationship of incubation - giving warmth and in turn receiving new life - can vary in its processes and outcomes. Sometimes incubation is short, sometimes it is long, other times it is a process of nurture, and care, and other times incubation is about pure survival. All kinds of things involve incubation – Mould growing after relentless rain, Covid-19 after transmission, bacteria in order to make Yogurt, Chickens hatching eggs, and ideas incubate to make material creative work. The works presented as part of ‘Incubation’, have all been incubating for several months, through numerous re-schedules, in order to come to final fruition. Kudos curates Chloe McFadden, Yanti Peng, Othy Willis, Billy Wolnicki together to present an exhibition that reverberates notions of warmth, growth, familiarity, affinities, labour, mucilage, the indistinct, indeterminate, evolving, and tender. Kudos Offsite presents ‘Incubation’ pop-up at Prop Gallery 1/361 Liverpool Rd, Ashfield, featuring sculptural, textual, Augmented Reality (AR), and video works.
