Catrin Morgan : The Age of Wire and String

3 May-24 May 2013

Overview

The exhibition contains artwork by Catrin Morgan for the new hardback edition of Ben Marcus' book 'The Age of Wire and String' published by Granta in May 2013. This will be accompanied by a wider body of work which takes the novel as its starting point. 'The Age of Wire and String' is a classic of innovative fiction. The novel is a handbook for surviving in a strange new world both like and unlike our own, one in which language has undergone a surreal revolution and words can no longer be trusted. In approaching the text Catrin Morgan's intention is to make images that introduce a similar revolution to the idea of illustrated fiction. These new images are documentation of a vision of the world conjured by the novel.
