edge of ordinary showcases new works by 10 international artists exploring the position of art and the artist within a multimedia society.
The exhibition presents painting, printmaking, installation, sculpture, and film/video.
Professor and philosopher Derek Matravers will discuss the exhibition in the presence of the artists and the public on Wednesday 12 November 6-8pm.
Matravers’ two most recent works are Fiction and Narrative (OUP, 2014) and a co-edited (with Damien Freeman) collection of essays entitled, Figuring Out Figurative Art: Contemporary Philosophers on Contemporary Paintings (Routledge, 2014). Professor Matravers will take up the themes of pre-modernity, modernity and post-historical art-making in the context of EOII, thereby plaiting philosophy, art theory and art criticism together.
