Forthcoming Exhibition in Sofia, Bulgaria

Posted: 10 Sep 2011 04:17 PM PDT

Forthcoming exhibition at the Academia Gallery, National Academy of Art, Sofia, Bulgaria, 19 September - 4 October 2011. This exhibition comprises assemblages and collages, photographs and drawings, by UK artists Dr Alec Shepley, Head of School of Art and Design at the University of Lincoln, and John McClenaghen.

The exhibition forms a part of a much broader research project in which the two artists are investigating the presentation of the fragmented work and the 'unfinished' project. Aspects of dilapidation, ruin and entropy are explored and much of the work in this exhibition focuses on the notion of the 'ruin in reverse' - coming into being as opposed to being left to decay. The work resulting from the research project demonstrates a seemingly endless preoccupation with cutting, placing, re-cutting and re-placing, joining and un-joining, telescoping between making and un-making, and the eventual 'dis-assembly' or collapse of the outcome. The show will be accompanied by a limited edition publication and a joint lecture by both artists in the gallery to discuss the aspects of the work in more detail and provide a forum to debate the media, materials, processes and ideas involved and the contextual underpinning.
