Erosion and Illegibility of Images
31 October 2014, 12 – 4 PM, The New Art Gallery Walsall.
One-day Symposium
Maria Chevska
Idris Khan
Jane and Louise Wilson
The symposium sets out to interrogate the trope of illegibility and erosion in contemporary artistic practice. By looking at painting, photography and sculpture/ architecture the symposium explores the extent to which contemporary art denies ‘a palpable legibility’. Artists including Jane and Louise Wilson, Idris Khan and Maria Chevska will offer an original insight into the restriction of vision and legibility.
