View Finder
Arnolfini, Bristol
View Finder explores the pictorial, rather than the material, dimension of painting. Each artist in the show looks at the representation of nature, and considers landscape as a natural phenomenon, or as a social and cultural construct.

View Finder explores the pictorial, rather than the material, dimension
of painting. Each artist in the show looks at the representation of
nature, and considers landscape as a natural phenomenon, or as a
social and cultural construct. The natural development in the history of
picture-making from painting to photography and cinema, and to video
and digital imaging, is reflected in the show. The selection of artists in
View Finder is international; however, for many, this is their first UK
exhibition. Co-curated by Stephen Hepworth and Arnolfini.
Friday 5 July 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Exhibition Preview
A catalogue on both Shimmering Substance and View Finder, with an
essay by Alex Coles and dialogues between the curators, is available in
the bookshop, price £7.50.
