Sick Rose

Jen Valender presents Sick Rose a multichannel moving image installation at Testing Grounds. Inspired by William Blake’s The Sick Rose—described as one of the most enigmatic poems in the English language—this exhibition screens a suite of video artworks that consider thorny perceptions of lifecycles, ecosystems, adaptation, death and dying through the guise of insects.  

In collaboration with Valender, Destory//Delacroix will bring their amalgam of considered sonic chaos to Testing Grounds for one night only. 

Friday 23 February 
Doors open 5.30pm
Performance at 7pm
