The exhibition launch is marked by a public performance in Battersea Park of Simon Patterson’s Landskip. First presented at Compton Verney in 2000, the installation brings a pastoral painterliness to Second World War camouflage testing. Military smokes (smoke-making devices) are installed by Patterson and timed to emit plumes of coloured smoke that unfurl ribbons of green, blue, red, violet, yellow and orange into the landscape. This event will be followed by a special viewing of the exhibition
