Limber: spatial painting practices

2013

Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury

Grandes Galleries de L’Erba, Rouen

Curated by Cherry Smith & Josh Munster

Limber presents a group of international artists who explore and expand painting through a constructed 3D materiality. This dynamic new work engages not only with the history of painting but with the increasing dominance of virtual structures and the growing influence of architecture, fashion and design.

A symposium on October 5 at UCA, 11 – 4pm, will elaborate on these ideas. Speakers will include Professor Michael Archer, Goldsmiths University of London, Dr Dominic Rahtz, University for the Creative Arts, Audrey Reynolds, artist, Dr Stephen Wilson, Chelsea College of Art and Design.

The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive catalogue in English and French.
