Benedict Drew KAPUT

27 Jun-6 Sep 2015

Overview

Oscillating between space tourism and the mystical power of sacred objects, between the scientific and the esoteric, this exhibition of new work by Benedict Drew will question different modes of learning and the power and privilege of the acquisition of knowledge. Part of a QUAD season called 'Radical Enlightenment' taking inspiration from The Grand Tour project across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire through 2015 & 2016, and new work by Benedict Drew, this season of exhibitions and events at QUAD takes a fresh look at the Enlightenment period and the original Grand Tour, reassessing one of the most pivotal periods in human history in a thoroughly modern context.Benedict Drew KAPUT is part of The Grand Tour fringe programme, an exciting new cultural event taking place in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in 2015 and 2016, thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
