Making Strange

Opening Friday 6th September 6 – 9pm

A survey show of works by Colin Booth
‘Making Strange’ is a reference to Russian formalist critic, Victor Shklovsky’s essay Art as Technique (1925). ‘The purpose of Art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects unfamiliar…’

‘Unfamiliarity may be fleeting,’ adds Booth, ‘but it leads to an imperceptible shift in our cognitive understanding of things and in what we know and perceive of as art’.

Exhibition open 7 – 8 and 13 – 15 September from 12 – 5pm
or by appointment.
