About
The work shown in this exhibition pays attention to details and views that normally go unnoticed. There is an almost anthropological element to the findings each artist makes. In this sense landscapes concern these artists, not as verdant representations of grand vistas but as sites of investigation that allow particular encounters to occur. Each artist is located in a specific landscape that nourishes his or her practice. These range from the Kent Coasts to the streets of East London and the interior of a domestic living space. Things That Are There creates a meeting place where each artist, mapping particular geographies brings their divergent findings and places them alongside each other, for further examination and consideration. The artist are Tom Banks; Sam Hodge; Mark Sowden; Matthew Swift and Ana Vicente. Written contributions by Mike Sims
