Expo21

Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham

Strategies of Display

Saturday 13 March - Saturday 8 May

Shahin Afrassiabi, Loris Cecchini, Gareth Jones, Goshka Macuga, Mathieu Mercier, Simon Moretti and Elisa Sighicelli

Expo21: Strategies of Display brings together seven artists from France, Italy and the UK whose work explores ideas about display and the way objects are presented in museums, galleries, trade fairs and the retail environment.

EXPO21: Strategies of Display
Much of the work shares an interest in framing, revealing, arranging and 'drawing attention to': from Goshka Macuga's 'exhibitions within exhibitions' - sculptural installations in which she showcases work borrowed from other artists and collectors - to Gareth Jones' subtle and witty adaptations of that much-used piece of gallery furniture: the plinth. The materials of the shop window and DIY store are also re-presented in work which often questions authorship and authenticity in the art market and broader contemporary culture.

Curated by Simon Moretti, EXPO21 includes a new installation by Shahin Afrassiabi, which will transform Angel Row Gallery's own 'shop window' and entrance at street level.

Funded by the National Touring Programme of Arts Council England.
This work will also form part of EXPO21: Strategies of Display, curated by Simon Moretti - see below for more information. Shahin Afrassiabi lives and works in London
