‘Uneven Geographies; Art and Globalisation’, Nottingham Contemporary

Jo — Sun, 09 May 2010 19:45:09 +0000

‘Uneven Geographies; Art and Globalisation’ is the new exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary. It displays the work of 14 artists from 5 continents representing this huge and complicated subject of Globalisation. Where in our world now is so easy to buy thing and not think where it has come from, where people and products can all move so freely its hard to keep track. The exhibition shows this uneven spread of the wealth and harsh manual labour.

‘Nobody wants to see: Three of the rich est men in the world own as much as six hundred million of the poorest people.’
Mladen Stilinovic, Nobody Wants To See, 2009.

I thought this quote was very powerful and shows this uneven spread of the worlds wealth.

Exhibition: 8 May 2010 – 4 Jul 2010 Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham.

If you’re interested in how people can inspire creativity in others, then this is the perfect opportunity to share & discuss skills and meet a new bunch of like-minded folks!

The intriguing people at LAB have extended an open invitation to us all…

LAB invites everyone to their first monthly open space meeting and an opportunity to get involved in running, shaping and organising the project. The LAB project thrives on participation and engagement. They are already up and running but want others to contribute to the development and support what the project could become. This initial meeting will introduce you to some of the loose aims of the group, their aspirations and an exciting and ambitious proposal for the future.

LAB is written both as a noun and a verb, as such they are inviting you to ‘LAB’ this idea collectively and invite you as collaborators, advisors and ambassadors.

Get involved & find out more HERE or there > Wednesday 05/05/2010, Broadway Mezz Bar, 6:00pm – 10:00pm

Be there or be square!
