Cartograph exhibition preview night - all invited
Are event promotions allowed on here? Anyhow...
Brass Gallery, Leeds rounds off the 2010 theme of ‘Graphic’ with Carto-Graph: artistic responses to maps, charts and all things cartographic. http://bit.ly/f98w9T
The annual themed group exhibition features previous Brass Gallery exhibitors who have responded to map-based imagery, producing work which is surprising, intriguing and unexpected.
Featuring responses from Heather Barnett, Hannah Leighton-Boyce, Samuel Fisher, James Moss, Katy Devine, Katherine Johnson, Katy Devereux, Helen Saunders, Matthew Young and Ann Marie James.
I’d love you to join me as our guest at the Preview Event on Thursday 9th December, 6pm until 8pm, for canapés and drinks.

Lycaena dispar
Photo-construct of a building site somewhere in Leeds
Another photo-construct from the Taxonomy series. The images captures the latent beauty of temporary construction apparatus that disguise its final architectural horror!
Boloria selene
Photo-construct of overhead cables somewhere in Leeds
Part of an ongoing body of work entitled ‘Taxonomy’. The names of the photo-constructs are taken from butterfly names in latin. Some are posionous and allude to the deteriating nature of our architectural expression. Others are beautiful and express what can be achieved with a ‘good client’. Good clients however seem to be a dying breed; taken over by ravenous developers financed by debt and protected by limited liability at the expense of other people’s risk. I take such architectural demise to be symptomatic of wider economic problems, emboddied most recently as the credit crunch.
