BasementOverground: Emergence
Image: Adam Glatherine, showing planned sculptures by Keith Ackerman and Adam Glatherine
'Emergence' is an exhibition about material and the human interaction that transforms it into works of art. The work of Keith Ackerman, John Barber, Pippa Eason, Adam Glatherine and Paul Miller not only looks at the journey taken by materials from nature to art object, but also questions the hierarchical order in which we place objects. The exhibition is not just about the hand/eye coordination needed to fashion the physical material, but also the conceptual framework needed to conceive of the idea in the first place.
What people said . . .
“It was a real pleasure to visit this exhibition, which has been carefully curated to pose interesting questions about making and viewing sculpture, and about materiality, temporality and narrative. I love gardens, I love sculpture, and I love talking to artists and curators about their work, so a couple of hours here on a sunny afternoon was just perfect”
“This was lovely. A really well curated space. The pieces were beautifully presented and real thought had gone into how they sat in relationship to one another.”
“Great show ”
“It was very interesting to have background information of some of the pieces and more detail information about the material/ media used to create the final art piece...”
“Very interesting exhibition in a great setting!”
“Excellently curated exhibition.”
“It was an excellently curated and very impressive exhibition”
“It was very interesting to have background information of some of the pieces and more detail information about the material/ media used to create the final art piece...”
“Inspirational!
Such a beautiful, intimate exhibition, as a scaled down Yorkshire sculpture park - with glorious themed exhibits and a delightful suburban garden, making the most of the Covid size restriction. Very imaginative, and indeed ‘Emergent’ - from lockdown, from 200mil+ years of rock formation, through evolving geometric shapes and rings of tree growth.....”
“Very accessible. No question was ‘silly’. Artist all very easy to engage with and very interesting.”
“it was a lovely show and great experience, i have a friend who would like to do one at there garden ”
