Venue: Ecole Regionale des Beaux- Arts, Valence/Grenoble

Recent changes and transformations in the way we address, approach, connect with, and 'think through' the object are reflected in the work of Andrea Medjesi-Jones, Tom Dale and Jamie George, three artist-researchers from Cambridge School of Art.

Between each of the artists' work there are correlations in their concerns but not necessarily clearly readable or surface connections. At a fundamental level each artist's work represent traditional areas of practice: Medjesi-Jones explores the language of painting and drawing, and questions both construction and gesture within abstraction; George, the way objects hold narratives - formal, personal and collective; while Dale explores the relationship between the shifting experiences of technologies, perception and focus. This particular project looks at the exhibition space as an experimental arena where these concerns can be visually articulated within the space itself.

The exhibition marks the first of a series of substantive and exciting exchanges between the two schools in Cambridge and Valence/Grenoble which will create a deeper understanding of creative research practices within contemporary art.
