Those of town planners, architects, engineers over laid with the messy reality of human interaction and use. In this exhibition we look at the work of nine artists whose work involves architecture. From the sculptural drawings and models of the collaborative team of artist and architect, Henry Seaton (Graham Seaton and Rex Henry) to the fantastical 'Empire' of 'oozing site-specific creations' by artist Sally Barker; this exhibition covers the clean lines and blocks of utopian dreams alongside the decorative, lyrical, fanciful and absurd.
