Richard Woods discusses his current exhibition 'Inclosure Acts' with Simon Morrissey, curator and director of WORKS|PROJECTS, Bristol and Foreground, Somerset. Join us for an opportunity to see the exhibition and hear Richard speak informally about the work and his processes.
About
Richard Woods has built an international reputation for his signature architectural transformations, paintings and sculpture that fold the history of the decorative arts, functional design and graphic language into intoxicating and witty plays with image and surface. His architectural interventions are chiefly concerned with the re-surfacing of existing structures, proposing an absurd twist on the cult of home improvement and DIY aesthetics.
For Chapter, Woods has created a new work that is inspired by both the history of the building — sited as it is on a former cattle market — and by the Acts (1604-1914) that radically transformed open fields and common land in the countryside.
The event is free and no booking is required. For more information about this event, click here
Richard Woods: Inclosure Acts, is open at Chapter Gallery until Sunday 14 June.
