Events, Exhibition and workshops planned during the weekend

Exhibition: This Matter
21^st May – 19^th June 2010

This Matter is an exhibition that investigates the physical nature of landscapes, drawing together the changing ideas of what is natural and unnatural within our everyday surrounding. This exhibition focuses on the continuous alteration of our environment in which we live and strives to create subtle gestures that have wider connotations towards the world we live in; its perpetual evolution, growth and destruction.

Print works by pioneering figures such as Robert Motherwell, Claus Oldenburg and John Salt and Robert Smithson reconstruction are shown alongside pieces by contemporary artists; Sovay Berriman, Tomas Chaffe, Claire Greenshaw, Ilana Halperin, Celia Hempton, Bobby Niven and Laura Shimmin.
