Rana Begum New Works: February to March 2010

Solo Exhibition:
Dealing with architectural propositions as much as with the formal possibilities of Minimalism, No.207 is an attempt to condense the urban experience to its most significant elements, to abstract analogous visual stimuli and subsequently articulate them into concrete forms and lights. Feeding on the architecture of a space, cutting lines across and reorganising it according to abstract cartographies, No.207 draws powerful associations between culture, architecture and design, and reinvents our relationship to artificial spaces.

Date: 5 February - 02 March 2010
Monday - Saturday , 10:00 – 18:00
Venue: 29 Catherine Place, Westminster, London SW1E

Artist Talk: Rana Begum in conversation with Charles Danby 17 February 2010, 19:00 - 20:00
Charles Danby is a writer and curator based in London. He is a co-founder of PROJECKT, a curatorial research partnership that considers new media technologies through broadcast and live event. He is a guest curator at the Siobhan Davies Studios, London, and is the 2010 curator at Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium in Norway. Charles has written for international arts publications including Flash Art, Frieze, Art Issue and Art Review.
