'Ill Communication' brings together a broad range of artworks from Britain and abroad to engage with technological advances in travel and communication.

The exhibition presents new and existing works by internationally prominent artists, from formal sculpture by Liam Gillick, to more ephemeral projects such as a free publication by Aleksandra Mir. Works utilise diverse means and materials from Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane's appropriation of steam powered engineering to a dysfunctional computer programme devised by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 'Ill Communication' also includes a number of iconic, earlier works by Jenny Holzer and On Kawara which made with now defunct communicative systems provide crucial precedents to current artistic practice.

The exhibition reflects the ways in which communication has been dramatically altered particularly with the growth in internet access and use. In doing so 'Ill Communication' can also be seen to explore the contemporary art gallery's role as a locus - a point of intersection between different people and ideas, between the global and local.
