If Walls Could Talk What Would They Say?

Maya Ramsay won The London Group Solo Show Award and her award show Wall Talk takes place at The Cello Factory from April 26th - May 4th.
Maya will be showing work that uses her unique technique of lifting off the top layer of surfaces from historically and politically significant buildings and re-presenting them.
The works in Wall Talk reference the idea of walls as witnesses and the use of walls as weapons.

The exhibition will include works from Maya's recent project Station X, in which she lifted surfaces from the derelict buildings of Bletchley Park- as used by the Code-breakers in World War Two.

These works capture the histories imbued in the fabric of one of Britain’s most important historical sites, before they are lost when planned renovation of the buildings takes place. The exhibition will include filmed documentation of the buildings by Luke Williams. Station X was first shown at MK Gallery project space in 2012, was exhibited in Alan Turing's hut at the Bletchley Park Museum 2012-2013 and featured in a number of BBC interviews.

The exhibition featured in numerous BBC interviews, including Radio 4's TODAY programme.

There will be number of concerts taking place alongside the exhibition, please see the website for details.
