Chris Evans. CLERK OF MIND

A newly commissioned presentation of works by British artist Chris Evans reconfigured specially for Project Arts Centre, curated by Kate Strain. Evans engages in conversations with people from a broad range of professions, which he selects because of their symbolic or public role. Those selected receive unsolicited projects from him, and his work is created through their realisation of these assignments.

Recently, this has included the directors of a luxury jewellery company, the editors of the Morning Star newspaper, an anonymous philanthropist and members of the international diplomatic community. Their collaboration becomes entangled along invisible paths of consultation and negotiation, encased in the resulting art objects they produce.

You are welcome to join us for the opening of this exhibition on Tuesday 4 November from 6pm – 8pm.
