Made With - Cross Lane Projects (2020)
MADE WITH 21.03.20/LA9 5LB
CROSS LANE PROJECTS, KENDAL, CUMBRIA 21 March - 01 August 20
Cross Lane Projects launched its 2020 programme with the exhibition Made With… considering materiality in contemporary sculptural practice. Curated by John Stephens, this new group show of contemporary sculpture presents work by artists Maxine Bristow, Anna Fairchild, Sian-Kate Mooney and Mark Woods.
Made With… is concerned with materials, not just as the means by which art objects are made but also with the ways in which the intrinsic qualities of materials and associated processes determine the form and the meaning of art objects. Their use of materials reflects the artists’ interests in social issues and issues of culture, gender and sexual politics, psychoanalytics, psychogeography and semiotics.
Independent curator Stephens has selected artists whose practices ultimately draw attention to the very materiality of the stuff they work with. Stephens has previously been a Director and Curator with artist-run Castlefield Gallery in Manchester.
A 12 page catalogue containing essays by the curator and artists accompanied the exhibition.
