Flatland

About

Flatland will feature several artists of various disciplines. Bob Matthews Michael Whittle Sangsun Bae Isambard Poulson Adrian Firth The artists in this show work with imagery and ideas that are at once highly familiar but at the same time strangely distant. Spanning disciplines and working on different logical levels, Flatland shines some light onto the chasms between the conceptual and the real, the imaginary and the tangible, the image and the portrayed. These shifts can appear to be subtle but on closer inspection are some of the most significant of all. Flatland is about accepting these gaps and allowing our imagination to flow beyond them. Throughout history great discovery has often been from those who attempt to broaden their horizons beyond the realms of current empirical knowledge, often embracing the seemingly outrageous; the earth traveling around the sun would be an example of one such change in thinking. The work in Flatland is a celebration nod towards this pioneering spirit.
