It Couldn’t Be Made Up - Collapse
March 6th to March 7th 2008
Surface Gallery’s annual showcase of work by Nottingham Trent University’s Fine Art department continues with Collapse.
This year’s NTU shows bring us 5 exhibitions in 4 weeks. The students have been asked to propose exhibitions in response to the theme It Couldn’t Be Made Up.
Collapse
Thursday 6th March from 6pm - Friday 7th March
The exhibition reflects on how failure might offer a moment of disappointment but also the possibility of unexpected or humorous results; how the breakdown of one kind of logic might allow for the emergence of another. Useless and dysfunctional objects sit alongside works which explore the breakdown of language; mistranslations and glitches in communication.
Events
As part of 'It Couldn’t Be Made Up - Collapse', we held several events over the course of the exhibition. See below for further details.
Interventions and Performances
Throughout the programme there will also be a number of interventions and performances where mistaken identities, secret exchanges and absurd encounters occur in the gallery space and erupt into the public realm.
Includes work by Dominique Humphreys, Bill Nguyen and Alia Pathan.
