Nick Evans & Lorna Macintyre : Ur Phenomenon

16 Apr-25 Jun 2016

Overview

For 'Ur Phenomenon,' Nick Evans and Lorna Macintyre present a joint exhibition of new photographs and sculptures. The project has been initiated in response to the work of Nicholas Pope who will simultaneously be exhibiting a series of new sculptures and drawings in the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art's (NGCA) other gallery as part of 'Baldock Pope Zahle'. The starting point for 'Ur Phenomenon' was Nick Evans' formative experience of seeing Pope's sculpture 'The Apostles Speaking in Tongues Lit by Their Own Lamps' (1993-96) at Tate gallery in the late Nineties as a student. Recalling the encounter recently, Evans invited Macintyre, in conversation with Pope, to take a series of photographs of the sculptor's house and studio in Herefordshire.
