Overview

Private view, Tuesday 15th December 2009, 6.30-9pm. Crossing back and forth between time and place, the Crypt Gallery showcases a group of exciting time-travelling artists. The weight of history and our navigation within it becomes a trickier task as time passes. As our eyes open wider, our experiences increase, and the our visual memory gets ever more full, the connections between people, events, objects and emotions becomes harder and harder to distinguish within the clear linearity from past through to present. This exhibition brings together 12 emerging artists exploring the concept of displacement. Utilising images taken from a rhizomatic understanding of the world and its histories, the group presents work in a range of media encompassing video, painting, sculpture, installation, and sound. Artists include: Mark Bell, Lindsey Bull, David Cochrane, Rita Evans, Charlie Franklin, Andrew Gannon, Julia Mariscal, Paul McCann, Jill Mulleady, Michael Murphy, Luna Paiva & David Smith.
