The Order of Things

Drawing on the expertise of three external contributors and an introductory position paper delivered jointly by curators Bick, Parsons and Katie Pratt, this seminar shows how contemporary artists have built upon, questioned and expanded the legacy of abstraction, which was such a crucial early development in the critical and theoretical development of Modern art. It also demonstrates how artists continue to interrogate manifestations of experience, social convention and the gallery as cultural site, and explore broader ideas of how individuals and groups perceive, comprehend, and interpret the nature of human reality through visual experience.

Seminar contributors are curators Andrew Bick, Jonathan Parsons & Katie Pratt, artist A K Dolven, and Dr Jo Melvin.
