Group show
19 April – 17 May 2013
The exhibition interrogates our preconceptions of the wilderness, and the role of the artist as adventurer, witness and mediator. Wilderness is both physical topography and a social and cultural construct, promising an untrammelled refuge or a stage for physical challenge and heroic endeavour. Meanwhile, the growth of technologies brings wild places into clear view, allowing them to be witnessed remotely or experienced through mass tourism producing a complex and evolving definition.
Exhibiting Artists: Ian Brown, Layla Curtis, Geraint Evans, Simon Faithfull, Dan Hays, Paul Harrison and John Wood, James Ireland, Marko Mäetamm, Aleksandra Mir, Jacques Nimki, George Shaw and Helen Sear
