Marking Space

28 May – 12 June 2008

CIRIC’s first exhibition complements our one-day symposium ‘Marking Space’.  This multi-disciplinary exhibition highlights the work of CIRIC research staff and select CIRIC members.

Artists and designers from many disciplines have explored sometimes very different interpretations of what it means to ‘mark space’.  These explorations have been literal, metaphoric and metaphysical.  Whilst some exhibitors have considered issues of gendered space, belonging and displacement, others have interrogated the meaning of virtual and physical space: how we occupy space and how we move through it.  They all reveal the ‘marking’ of space to be both complex and fascinating: as infinitely recreated, simultaneously confining and boundless and, ultimately, challenging.

The ‘Marking Space’ exhibition has been generated with the support of CIRIC’s expertise and facilities. ‘Marking Space’ is shared between two venues: our ‘space’ and that of Mission Gallery. This sharing of space emphasises the connections and collaboration so implicit in our aim to support and develop creative arts practice in Wales.
