Andy Harper 6th July – 28th September 2013
Over the past decade, Andy Harper has gained critical acclaim for an extraordinary and varied body of paintings. Harper has previously created paintings on suspended spheres, intricately cut boards and fly-posted onto hoardings. For Archaeology in Reverse he has made a specific and central work for the upper gallery around which the rest of the show will revolve; a free-standing screen, comprising large painted canvases. The exhibition is supported by the Department of Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. |

John Newling
20th July – 14th September 2013 This major survey exhibition presents a selection of John Newling’s work, from the 1970s to the present day. John Newling is a pioneer of British public art, exploring religion, the natural world and the social and economic systems of society. Works in the exhibition that play with ideas relating to money and religion include replicas of high street cash machines made in copper, large glass bowls stained with the dirt and debris cleaned from the surface of 50,000 two-pence coins and sculptures related to the act of taking communion inthe Christian church. Newling has also produced artworks through horticultural processes. Two silver-lined hydroponic growth tents contain young Miracle Trees (Moringa oleifera), a species with uniquely generous properties for healing and nutrition. Through carefully regulated levels of light, carbon dioxide and water, the tents simulate the trees’ native climate conditions in the Himalayan foothills of north-western India. John Newling: Ecologies of Value is a Nottingham Contemporary touring exhibition and first exhibited there 26th January - 7th April 2013. |
