Mark Pearson and Annie Whiles: United We Fall

About

Standpoint is pleased to present an exhibition of new drawing, film and objects by Mark Pearson and Annie Whiles. The artists share a particular interest in the emblematic - motifs, and visual structures that purport to inform - crests, badges and posters. Using diverse material approaches, the artists investigate the resonant talismans of belonging - reflecting upon activities, rituals and artefacts that might be attached to a clubhouse or headquarters, church or local pub. As both artists move their ‘headquarters' into the gallery, we can but wonder what evidence of cultural, gender and territorial difference will emerge.
