Place & Space
15-20 September 2015
Place & Space explores a contemporary view of landscape evoking the world of abstraction through paintings, prints, and photographs. A range of work by contemporary artists who make a statement about their place in the modern world with its ever expanding complex infrastructure, ‘Place’ represents the formal ideas of landscape in real or imagined locations. Our physical presence is somewhere that can be clearly defined. It may be a place we reside, work or visit. In this age of GPS positioning, our ‘place’ can be digitised and our residences ‘post coded’ and Googled. Our minds however, can be in places where our body is not; in this way place can be exotic or transcendent. ‘Space’ may represent the miniscule detail or the enormity of the infinite. Work in this show presents concepts of distance and transcendence; the relationship of objects within a described space, land reflecting sky, transition of sea and shore, arrangement of buildings in man-made space, or simply the relationship between two or more objects on a table.
Artists: Helen Benson, Helen Campbell, Laurence Causse-Parsley, Anthea Eames, Pia Goddard, Juli Jana, Lee-Ann, Clive Patterson, Cary Whitworth, Helen Ryan, Annie Hudson, Laurel Keeley, Justine Lois Thorpe. Curated by Clive Patterson & Anthea Eames. Private View: Thursday 17 September 6-9pm.
