STATION is pleased to present A Breath Before Dawn, Dean Cross’ fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Centred on In L ving Memory, a major two-channel moving image work commissioned by the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, the exhibition also includes Of Stone and Blood a photographic series, alongside painted work by the artist.
The exhibition is a meditation on memory, inheritance and the unresolved presence of history within the body. Drawing on his Worimi identity and his family’s history in the First World War, Cross reflects on what is carried across generations, what is remembered, what is inherited and what remains unspoken or unknowable. The exhibition resists fixed narratives of commemoration and instead holds space for ambiguity and emotional complexity.
