Witnessing the Wilderness, 2013

Venue: Wimbledon Space
Places: 
London
UK

Group show

Curator: Geraint Evans and Ian Brown

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
