Current Exhibition

12 July - 7 September 2008

Featuring Artists : Dunhill & O'Brien, Rachel Garfield, Charlotte Ginsborg, Jane Grant, Ansel Krut, Kim Noble, Tim Simmons.

ArtSway presents Just world order, a curated group exhibition that explores ideas of control, identity and anxiety as it affects modern society. Featuring new work by Dunhill & O’Brien, Rachel Garfield, Charlotte Ginsborg, Jane Grant, Ansel Krut, Kim Noble and Tim Simmons, the exhibition will embrace theories of displacement and disorientation, both physical and mental (the latter relected in the deliberately ambiguous title Just world order) and will focus upon notions of control by authority, as well as aspiration and belonging in human endeavour.
