EMVAN on Tour- 3rd stop Nottingham

The EMVAN event took place in New Art Exchanges main gallery in front of there current exhibition, which is,

Rashid Rana : Everything is Happening At Once

Widely recognised as one of the most

important artists of his generation from

South Asia, Rana works across multiple

media including photography, sculpture

and video installation. This exclusive

exhibition at New Art Exchange follows

Rana’s first major public solo show in the

UK at Cornerhouse, Manchester and forms

part of the second Asia Triennial. It includes

new work which ambitiously cuts across

conventional notions of the scale and status

of the photographic object, opening up its

potential to represent cultural, social and

physical realities and relationships. The

work’s seductive materiality belies its sharp

critical and political consciousness.

MONKS Gallery presents HEADSPACE at OVER+OUT LINCOLN

HeadSpace

The inside of our minds are personal, but, are they our own worlds, our personal escape, the place where we can be happy and understood? Or are we are locked in our own minds, tormented? No one knows what is happening inside your head until you communicate your thoughts. We think consciousness and free will gives us control, but our minds are unpredictable.

In this exhibition we invite you to explore the personal escape and the self-made prison that is the human mind; an unlimited space in which we are both free to imagine and unable to escape. Climb into another person’s ‘headspace’ and feel what they feel. Is ‘headspace’ a dangerous place to be?
