SUMMARY:Kate Howe: The Templum
DESCRIPTION:Enter ‘The Templum’\, a glowing Temple of Contemplation\
 , open to wonder as time slows down. The Stables Gallery transforms into
  a safe space where new endings to old stories become possible. Roam thr
 ough its warm\, translucent unexpected alcoves\, tunnels\, rooms\, and b
 urrows. Listen to its soundscapes and silences\, sit and watch the light
  change and encounter others also wondering and wandering. Join a social
  performance\, listen to a reading\, and take part in building. ‘The T
 emplum’ is a site powered by curiosity\, connection\, discussion\, sou
 nd\, dance\, silence\, meditation\, and healing - the collective explora
 tion of a community. 



 \n\nKate is completing an artist resi
 dency at Orleans House Gallery in the lead-up to the exhibition. \n\nThe
  final building phase of the exhibition opens to the public on 6 August\
 , and the fully-realised installation is open to explore from 13 August 
 to 22 September. \n\n&nbsp\;\n\nArtist Bio \n\nKate Howe
(b.1971) is
  an American artist living and working in London. They are the founding 
 Artist in Residence of
RuptureXIBIT
(+Studio)\, an experimental arti
 st-led exhibition space.

 Theater (highest hons) from Foothill\, CA\, a BA in Art History (summa c
 um laude) from Arizona State University (2020)\, AZ\, a Master’s in Pa
 inting (distinction) from the Royal College of Art\, London\,

 \n\n
 Howe showed at the Aspen Art Museum in spring\, 2020. Recent selected sh
 ows include ‘Omitted References’\, Mile End Art Pavilion\, London\, 
 2022\, and ‘Subterranean Organ’\, The Crypt Gallery\, London\, 2023\
 , both curated
by Daisy Wang. In 2023\, the Wild Parlour Artist’s Ph
 ilosophy Collective exhibited their inaugural group show ‘Alternative 
 Airport’ at RuptureXIBIT\, London\, 2023. In addition to building the 
 first Templum for this show\, Howe produced\, designed and wrote the cat
 alogue for the show. Most recently\, Howe participated in ‘Light Being
 ’\, curated by Jonathan Miles at Lychee One\, London\, also in 2023. U
 pcoming shows include a summer 2024 residency at the Stables Gallery\, a
 nd designing\, curating and
participating in the New Butoh Festival at
  RuptureXIBIT in the fall of 2024.\n\nHowe’s practice includes\, as we
 ll as other media\, installation\, painting\, theatre\, spoken word and 
 social practices. They examine the forces that rend bodies apart and pul
 l the back together.  
 \n\nHowe says: “My work begins at the sour
 ce: my own body and mind crisscrossed with the scars of surgeries from t
 raumatic and idiopathic tear-and-repair. From this position\, all bodies
  are riven and sutured: bodies of thought\, political bodies\, bodies of
  identity\, bodies of knowledge\, geographical bodies\, bodies of faith 
 and community bodies all are pulled apart and pulled back together conti
 nuously. Every rending demands a repair\, every repair leaves a mark\, e
 very mark informs the future\, in every future\, inevitably\, the rendin
 g occurs again. I ask the question: how can we make space for ancient cy
 cles of stories to be retold\, to make space for different endings\, for
  new stories?\n\nIn the suspended moment between the rending and the pul
 ling\, the Templums arise like punctuations in my practice\, like a gasp
  for air. They arise as a space for gathering\, considering\, laying dow
 n of arms\, biases\, prejudices. They are a place to consider a world in
  which we cease to oppress each other. A temple of contemplation\, a spa
 ce in which geologic time opens: an openness to large thought to have a 
 thought all your own\, perhaps other than one you have been instructed t
 o hold as a truth.  
 

   \n\nRunning through all my work are
  the seams of things being healed from rupture\, the scar of having been
  brought back together\, pregnant and uneven\, forever imprinted with wh
 at came before. My work looks primarily at ways to expose
these rendin
 g/suturing impulses and provide moments of opportunity for these pattern
 s of behaviour to change: for the story to go a different way.” \n\n�
