Materia

19 Jul-28 Sep 2019

Overview

(Note Summer closure: 10-26 Aug) Featuring the work of 17 international artists, Materia reflects on the idea of hierarchy of materials, historically a cornerstone yet today made obsolete by the radical ‘democratisation’ of media which took places across last century. Attempting to offer a glimpse on the ever more blurred line of demarcation between art and design, the ex- hibition juxtaposes practices based on the use of traditional materials with works which would only recently achieve the status of contemporary art.
