The Felicitous Encounter

The Felicitous Encounter is Euca Annex’s inaugural show, Dorit Margreiter and Fay Nicholson bring together new, recent and unseen works, that explore the tensions between architecture and image, orientation and choreography, time and movement. In Euca Annex’s distinctive new space, visitors are invited to explore the site sensitive works by the artists, featuring sculpture, photography, painting and video.

Asking what makes the ‘Commons visible between individuals’, the philosophers Hardt and Negri coined the term The Felicitous Encounter, to describe a moment when individuals come together, to exchange knowledge and form something new. In essence, they claim this is ‘the great wealth of a city’.

The Austrian artist Dorit Margreiter’s practice draws from the history of modern architecture, media culture and commodity aesthetics, while the visual work of London based artist Fay Nicholson channels the energy of performance and draws out synesthetic connections between sound, movement and image.
