An exhibition and symposium to celebrate ten years of the network Land2. A collaboration between Land2, East Street Arts and the School of Design, University of Leeds

Venue: Patrick Studios
St Mary’s Lane, Leeds LS9 7EH.

THE EXHIBITION

Dates and Times:
Wednesday 11th July – Monday 30th July
(Monday to Friday 12pm – 6pm)

This exhibition is a development of network Land2′s ongoing research into how art practices might contribute to a nuanced understanding of specific places and their communities. All the artists in this exhibition engage with places in their immediate vicinity. The works on show offer ways to make sense of the complexity of experiences, histories and activities in these localities. There is an interrogation of the quotidian, the everyday, the familiar, the marginalised and the unnoticed.
