Alex Brown's paintings combine photorealism and intricate abstraction for a final product that resembles a still life viewed through a kaleidoscope.

THE LAND BETWEEN US, place, power & dislocation

The Whitworth Art Gallery presents ‘THE LAND BETWEEN US, place, power & dislocation,’ an exhibition exploring today’s notions of landscape and identity by juxtaposing historic and contemporary works of art, curated by Mary Griffiths. The exhibition includes work by contemporary artists presented alongside highlights from the Whitworth’s historic collection, including more than 50 Turner watercolours.

Olafur Eliasson’s (b.1967) installation work The Forked Forest Path, 1998, is probably the most powerful part of the exhibition. The installation sees saplings such as silver birch woven together to create the powerful illusion of a dense forest. Eliasson’s version of a Romantic landscape is compared to the dark medieval forest in which Albrecht Dürer’s (1471-1528) knight travels through in the engraving, The Knight, Death and the Devil from 1513.

THE LAND BETWEEN US, place, power & dislocation, 25 Sep – 23 Jan 2011, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK.

erwin wrum: narrow mist

with each of his new works, austrian artist erwin wurm reinvents the vocabulary of sculpture
turning it on its head. using simple materials, mundane objects, wit and written instructions,
wurm invites people to interact with his art, transforming spectators into active participants,
encouraging them to poke fun at the paradoxes of contemporary society. designboom just visited
erwin wurm's interactive exhibition 'narrow mist', on show at the UCCA in beijing, which presents
sculptures influenced by childhood houses, fashion fetishes an 'stuff' you can find in the
chinese metropolis.with subversive playfulness and an appreciation of human curiosity, wurm draws his audience in,
making them part of his creative process:

'I want to address serious matters, but in a light way. I want to reach more than just an
elite circle of insiders. if you approach things with a sense of humor, people immediately assume
you're not to be taken seriously. but I think truths about society and human existence can be
approached in different ways. you don't always have to be deadly serious. sarcasm and humor
can help you see things in a lighter vein.' - erwin wurm
