Our species inhabits and moves through a vast variety of surroundings. As we traverse natural and created environments considering their changing discourse, we share a desire to develop an understanding of this relationship.
Topographic Translations presents impressions of human interaction with occupied environments. The sprawling urban spaces of our cities, the romanticised impressions of traditional painting and the peoplescapes of densely populated public buildings, represent core interests for these four artists.
Using installation, sculpture, drawing, painting and collage to evidence and document this social presence, the work projects a sense of how we understand this dynamic. From map making to embroidery, and surface duplication to object production, the exhibition utilizes the gallery as a platform for both new and historically aware observations of our surroundings.

September News
‘Rise’ Website launch & Artist Harriet White at Motorcade/FlashParade.
Ingrid Chauvet, moved into studio M6 last year to start her now booming business, ‘RISE’ Consulting Structural Engineers.
Unusually she has chosen to share her daily working environment with artists and designers. In doing so, she is perhaps helping to break down the cultural divide that still exists between traditional engineering professions and the creative industries.
In September Ingrid will launch her website at Motorcade/FlashParade.
To run simultaneously with the launch, she is sponsoring a show of paintings in the gallery by BV artist Harriet White, recently selected for the BP Portrait awards touring exhibition.

System History at MadeScapes
MadeScapes is proud to announce the second of its four exhibitions: System History.
System History draws together three artists who have considered the position
of humanity from within these urban-landscapes, from the physical to the virtual,
through the petro-plastic to the packaged and pixelated. Vibrant. Ecstatic. Eclectic.
