Deep Adaptation

Standpoint Gallery

6 April - 29 April

Standpoint Gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening of a new exhibition by Jon Kipps, the artist’s first London solo presentation.

‘Deep Adaptation’ has been developed over the past year by the London-based artist Jon Kipps. Kipps is interested in the way we choose to model and customise our environments and surrounding commodities, particularly objects associated with asserting or diffusing power, restricting behaviour and understanding social hierarchies. Examples include hostile architecture design, homeless spikes and skate stoppers, as well as car body modifications, coastal defences and less obviously aggressive forms of urban infrastructure, such as in bollards.
