Possible Architectures

About

The first experience of seeing work and its immediate impact on the viewer within an architectural context has always been a specific consideration in the practice of Morrissey and Hancock who work collaboratively both as practising systems-leaning artists, and as artist-curators.

Geometric, systems, minimalist and non-objective art have long been associated with and regarded as typifying developments in the design movements of the early to mid-twentieth century. However, the physical, material and creative characteristics contained or displayed by the artists' work in this exhibition - whether intended or by coincidence - reflect qualities or concerns that are still relevant to today's rapidly changing physical and social contexts. The works chosen for this exhibition reflect these considerations and are by definition both contemplative and conceptual in the broadest sense.

The curators state: "Geometric form is a language that elicits an immediate response whether in relation to work on paper, interior design, furniture design, sculpture or the wider architectural environment. Repetition, pattern and structure are recognisable and identifiable cultural signifiers, universally accessible and familiar across political and social divides."

Each work presented in Possible Architectures represents a constant process-led exploration of conceptual space within the developing post-minimalist universal canon. The exhibition includes paintings, sculpture and mixed-media works and contextual information explaining the processes (algorithms, procedures, codes and keys) used in the creation of the artworks.

Artist-curators Morrissey and Hancock run Saturation Point, an online editorial and curatorial project space.
