MAKE BELIEVE: a showcase of emerging Artists who enter the space between the material and the imaginary.
If Art concerns the manifestation of an idea through the handling of material, this exhibition presents a renewed emphasis on the productive gap between practice and product. Tyco track, icing sugar, feather, lard, wood, plaster, paint, paper, porcelain, video and photography: in a seductive array of media, this show highlights the artwork’s passage from base materiality to symbolic form. From Ruth Claxton’s adapted ‘found’ postcards to Boo Ritson’s photographs of thickly painted people, adopting subject matter ranging from classical mythology to the effect of the internet on our sense of orientation.
Opening Times: 12-6pm or by appointment
Artists: Jodie Carey, Ruth Claxton, Katarina Forss, Nick Hornby, Ryan Mosley, Daniel Pasteiner, Boo Ritson, Ceal Warnants
