Karl Nawrot: Mind Walk #1

Please join us for the launch of ‘Mind Walk #1’, an exhibition by Seoul based artist and web designer Karl Nawrot.

The exhibition reveals Nawrot’s aesthetic sensibility as a curious union of the macabre and the childlike, offering an overview of his practice through a dense presentation of crude monochrome prints. These include representations of various simple models which in some cases exist as works in themselves: for example in an architectural structure derived from Le Corbusier’s Dom-ino House the minimal staircase is replaced by a cave.

Maia Conran Solo Show Opening

Grand Union is proud to introduce Here is the Yard, a solo exhibition of new work by emerging artist Maia Conran. The exhibition presents three works that transform short video recordings of brief moments filmed, or found by the artist, into a large scale panorama, a sculptural sound installation and a discrete video work.

Conran’s artistic practice moves between old and new media, from film to computer animation and from video to sculpture or performance. She has a fascination with the stage and screen, and these thresholds can be seen as a motif throughout her work.

Echoes

Greetings from the Other Side! (Of High St Deritend, that is…) We’re pleased to announce that bookings for Echoes at the Edge are now open. Echoes is a totally unique artwork, a performance without performers, a tour without a guide and ‘all around you’™ experience, an exhibition you can poke, prod and mooch around in to your hearts content – no ‘do not touch’ signs here. Since 1992 we’ve been inhabiting the Free State Of Digbeth, and Echoes is inspired by the hundreds of stories we’ve collected during our 21 year residency.

Cao Fei: Haze and Fog

‘Haze and Fog’ is a new type of zombie movie set in modern China. The film will explore how the collective consciousness of people living in the time of what the artist calls “magical metropolises” emerges from seemingly tedious, mundane, the day-to-day life where a magical reality is created through struggles at the tipping point between the visible and the invisible.

A Demonstration of Possibilities

Eastside Projects presents A Demonstration of Possibilities, an exhibition by Sophie Bullock, Freya Dooley and Sebastian Jefford in Flatfile, a plan-chest sited permanently within the gallery.

A Demonstration of Possibilities is a framework that is open to movement and alteration. In it Flatfile is converted into a growing and interactive toolbox where works appear as instructional or functional but for potentially unknowable or absurd uses.
