Extending the thinking behind the recent exhibition Three Angles, this exhibition re-positions a number of those works by Stephen Bambury and Alberto Garcia-Alvarez with significant works by artists Chris Corson-Scott, Alfredo Jaar, Marie Shannon and Christine Webster.
The works, in their various materiality, propose ways of seeing and being a quarter way through the 21st Century. Foresight, or prescience, is a common feature of artworks through the ages, as is hindsight, or mining art historical precedents in contemporary works. Second sight lies somewhere between prescience and art history; reflecting on the contemporary context together with the timeless themes of being human. This grouping by contemporary artists spanning many decades is germane to the contemporary global context whilst also proposing reflections on the human condition.
