greengrassi is pleased to announce Moyra Davey's second solo exhibition at the gallery. The artist will present three 'mailer' pieces, one comprising 90 elements. For these methodical projects, Davey folds c-prints, addresses them and sends them by post to friends, family and collaborators around the world. The show will also include her new 28-minute film Notes on Blue (2015) commissioned by The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Braiding together disparate observations and personal accounts, Notes on Blue is an episodic meditation on blindness, color, and the life and work of British filmmaker, gardener and political activist Derek Jarman (1942–1994).

Moyra Davey was born in Canada in 1958 and currently lives and works in New York. Recent solo shows include MUMOK, Vienna; ICA, Philadelphia; Camden Art Centre (2014); Tate, Liverpool; Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver (2013) and Kunsthalle, Basel (2010).
