Interventions, Lewisham Art House, August 31 - September 11, 2016,
PV: September 2, 6-9 pm
The nine artists in this group exhibition are exploring the idea of interventions within the gallery space. Their individual practices,
through a variety of different languages and media, are very diverse, yet the artists search to reveal a dialogue, a connection and thread. The group are interested in the relationships between how their works create a visual discourse and how by placing their works within a common space the interventions of their works create yet another layer and language. These artists are searching for hidden dynamics that create new understandings, correlations and connections. - Andrea Coltman
