Pattern: found, exchanged, unraveled |
In visual terms pattern traditionally infers ideas of decoration - marks, lines, dashes and dots. In practice pattern is usually a set of instructions to be followed. Day to day you find patterns by chance, in behavior; breaths, wakeup times or work routes. This exhibition will explore the boundary of what pattern is - the way patterns are made, produced, found and pulled apart.

Is there any credible site of ‘transgression’ today? Where? What of ‘transgression’ itself? Can the very failure to transgress count as a transgressive act? Can we still revive it? We invite artists from a variety of disciplines, including film, performing arts and visual arts to take part in an exhibition exploring modes of transgression and its failures in the modern culture. The project will promote diverse and interdisciplinary works spanning across the themes of failure, transgression and queerness.

In connecting to the difficulties of the ‘local’ in the city, we will encourage object and image makers to examine the varied physical identities of Bath. To investigate Bath’s identity in the digital age we will facilitate works that are durational and temporary, and invite artists working with the poetics of place.
