Bill Prosser & Sarah Blair: Inside Out
Wed 14 - Sat 31 May, 10:00 - 16:00
North Wall Arts Centre, Oxford
An exhibition of drawings, book pieces, prints, and poster poems, exploring the idea of noticing the often overlooked in what is very familiar.
Inside Bill Prosser’s suite of drawings offers closely observed aspects of interiors, habitually ignored. Oddments of domestic flotsam yield unheeded corners and edges; ephemera and fixtures dislocate and re-locate. More broadly, this work attempts a visual affirmation of a theme of continental literature on the ordinary, the preoccupation of writers such as Georges Perec and Gaston Bachelard, who found abundant poetry in the spaces of living and working.
Outside Sarah Blair’s series of poster poems on the theme of weather invite conversation around our changing climate. The poems – generated from weather forecasts – are presented as digital collages exploring the sensory effects of weather types. Blair specialises in text-image works, often around the theme of language, and this project seeks to mark the newly insistent claim of weather for our urgent care. In doing so, she borrows from languages of weather, old and new, visual and verbal, to weave new syntheses.
