GEORGE CHARMAN : ONCE AGAIN AND ALWAYS NEW

5 May-27 May 2012

Overview

George Charman’s work explores modularity, abstraction and notions of dwelling relating to the perspectival and metaphysical properties of architectural space. For his solo show ’Once Again And Always New’ at Acme Project Space, Charman presents a new body of sculptural works influenced by the repetitious detail and geometric qualities evident within the work of writer Alain Robbe Grillet. Playfully subverting the structural qualities and material makeup of objects, in search of the slippage of association that releases objects from a specifc space or situation into an atmosphere of blurred transformation, Charman attempts to invoke a state of latency that suspends the desire for instant recognition of things in favour of a more speculative examining of the properties and possibilities of objects. George is one of 12 artists on Acme’s Fire Station Work/Live Programme 4.
