Move and Sketch at White Cube Gallery

Friday 20 March 2026 | 13:00 - 15:00

Trapped in Zone One are hosting a physical meets creative activity with a walk at White Cube exploring and sketching their new exhibition 'Echo' by artist Klára Hosnedlová’s, with sprawling manmade structures appearing abandoned, or overtaken by, massive growths that are organic in kind.

The aim of our session is to improve confidence in walking on a more regular basis, boost mental wellbeing and give participants safe opportunities for social interaction. By hosting this session will aim to merge creative medium of sketching on the move engaging with participants, who are often inactive, make physical activity part of their daily routine exploring greenspaces in London.

Background to Echo

From the lofty heights of White Cube’s 9x9x9 gallery, natural light falls upon Untitled (from the series Embrace) (2025), a landmark installation featuring an enormous, ragged tapestry with loose tendrils created from raw, unprocessed hemp. Variegated shades of moulting browns, rusts and coppers combine in its tufted and fibrous form, in which a large, sandstone frame is nestled.

Suggesting a bone fragment from an archaeological dig, the carved frame, with its ribbed relief, enshrines a photorealistic embroidery, whose refined threads contrast with the unruly, textured mass. Depicting fingers holding a single, lit match, the embroidery is at once a reference to fire as an early technology and symbol of illumination – one that alludes to the brevity of human life amidst vast leaps of time. Opposite, another embroidery hangs, a complement that appears both instructive and full of portent. Instead featuring a lone, textile fibre lit at one end, the artwork conveys a moment of suspended consequence, suggesting as it does the destructive potential of fire, a threat to the adjoining mass.

Through Hosnedlová’s detailed creation of a total environment, the multitudinous quality of time is brought to bear in the artist’s unique thinking, process and register. In ‘Echo’, the artist’s work contends that time is a malleable material, one that may be compressed, stored, retrieved and played back. Even as it works to reconstitute personal, historical and recent pasts, ‘Echo’ is not only an exhibition but an instance that already anticipates the next – seeding a refrain for the as-yet-unknown future.

Undecided? Check out some of the feedback from participants from previous workshops:

'It improved my wellbeing, it made me feel happier and calmer. Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, paying attention to my surroundings, being in the moment.'

'This event has enabled me to do more walking than usual. People have been very kind and someone always walked with me even though quite slow. Very grateful to everyone at Trapped in Zone One. Have been to a few events now but originally found whilst scrolling for something to do on eventbrite.'

'My mood is uplifted and feel glad to enjoy afternoon outside.'

'It was fun to sketch and learn about the history. It was really mindful. Learning about the history of Tower Bridge and of course observing the little details and drawing from top of the tower. Also, meeting people and finding these great pockets of communities around London.'
