Transition

Event Details

Nine MA visual artists from Nottingham Trent University have been selected by curators Lucy Stevens and Cat Preston in response to the theme of transition. ‘Transition’ meaning to change and evolve is used in the exhibition to express the notion of making and breaking rules that present the viewer with a series of ominous and amusing games.

Transition is the third of five exhibitions at the Surface Gallery as part of Rules of the Game. The exhibition showcases the work of 9 MA visual Art Students from Nottingham Trent University. The exhibition examines the notion of play as a form of subversion and social critique through role, transition and creative appropriation. Through sonic washing machines to ‘Sandrea gets a date’ this presents a series of games, some sinister and some fun. Transition features animations, visual projections, lenticular photography, slide shows, video installations and interactive game playing. Each artist has individually responded to the theme of transition in diverse and alterative ways. The private view night will reveal a whole host of audience interactive games giving the viewer an involvement of play, by creating music on the ‘sonic washing machine’, becoming the subject of an artist work or playing a dating board game with five other gallery visitors.
