Adam Bridgeland

23rd August – 1st September

Location: Multiple sites across the city of Dundee

CIRCA is a series of eight silkscreen printed works by internationally renowned
British artist Adam Bridgland, editioned in the print studio at Peacock Visual Arts
in Aberdeen.  Installed across the city of Dundee during late August 2013 in
spaces egalitarian in nature, including bus and train stations, cinema foyers,
libraries, shopping centres and public houses, the project embraces the theme
of exploration.  Moving the artwork from the traditions and confines of the art
gallery and taking them in to the public realm, the context and reading of the
works will become altered.  Printmaking more than any other artistic medium has
become intrinsically linked with popular culture, through such things as advertising
in magazines or billboards for example, although we take this for granted.
The project is to explore this notion by placing hand crafted printed works bedded
within the history of printmaking and moving them in to everyday.
